Answer 2

Answer:

• During his tenure as emperor , the policies adopted by Aurangzeb towards the Rajputs, the rulers of the Deccan and the Sikhs proved to be his undoing and eventually led to the decline of the Mughal empire. • Rajput policy: Akbar had always been careful not to antagonize the independent  Rajputs , but Aurangzeb tried to annex Rajput kingdoms and waged several battles against them. As a result Aurangzeb lost the loyalty and support of the Rajputs. • Deccan policy: Aurangzeb spent 26 years of his life and reign in Deccan, which he could neither control nor ignore. This brought him direct confrontation with the rising power of the Marathas, first  under Shaji and later under his son  Shivaji. Aurangzeb repeatedly tried to put an end to them, but in vain. • Sikh policy: The execution of the ninth Sikh guru , Guru Teg Bahadur by Aurangazeb made the peace loving Sikhs take up arms.  Under the tenth guru , Guru Gobind Singh, the Sikhs fought bitterly against Aurangzeb.
