Question

(3) Aurangzeb realised the difficulty in fighting with Marathas.​

Answer 1

Aurangzeb was greatly alarmed at the growing power of Shivaji and his victory over Afzal Khan. He was an imperialist and he could not tolerate any challenge to his power. Moreover he was a bigot Sunni and on the other hand Shivaji wanted to protect Hinduism and enhance his power.
