Mughal emperor Akbar is against sati. He had allowed Sati to take place only if the wife willingly wanted to follow it.

Akbar banned “forced” Sati after the incident with his wife’s cousin Rani Damayenti.
The major objective of Ghori to attack India was to expand his empire and satisfy his imperialistic ambitions. The expansion of Islam and his ambition to glorify his name through his military exploits could be said to be his secondary aims. Similarly, loot and plunder may also be secondary aims because that was norm in those days to acquire Gold and wealth from defeated rulers.
