Answers
Answer:
Aurangzeb’s Policies led to many uprisings:
Rajput Policy: Aurangzeb tried to annex Rajputs kingdoms and waged several battles against them. As a result. Aurangzeb lost the loyalty and support of the Rajputs. He also lost money, time and many of his generals.
Deccan Policy: Aurangzeb spent 26 years of his life and reign in the Deccan, which he could neither control nor ignore. This brought him into direct confrontation with the rising power of the Marathas. First under Shaji and later under his son Shivaji, the Marathas grew in number and strength. Aurangzeb repeatedly tried to put an end to them, but in vain. Aurangzeb won the kingdom of Bijapur in 1681 CE and Golconda in 1687 CE. However he suffered heavy loss of soldiers and money.
Sikh Policy: The execution of the ninth Sikh guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur (1664-1675 CE) by Aurangzeb made the peace-loving Sikh take up arms. Under the 10th guru, Guru Gobind Singh, the Sikhs fought bitterly against Aurangzeb.
