Answer:

The death of Aurangzeb in 1707 marked the beginning of the end of the Mughal Empire. Of course, the Mughal emperors reigned till 1857 but only in name. The successors of Aurangzeb, called the Later Mughals, lost hold over the Empire and independent kingdoms grew up in every part of India. Most of the Later Mughal emperors remained puppets in the hands to their powerful nobles or pensioners of the Marathas and, later on, of the British. The last Mughal ruler, Bahadur Shaah II, was deposed by the British after the revolt of 1857 and deported to Rangoon to die their as a prisoner. Various factors contributed to the downfall and extinction of the Mughal Empire.

Aurangzeb was partially responsible for the downfall of the Mughal Empire. The suspicious nature of Aurangzeb which did not permit either any of his sons or nobles to become capable; his religious bigotry which lost him the loyalty of the majority of his subjects and resulted in the revolts of the Jats, the Satnamis and the Sikhs; the Rajput policy which resulted in fighting against the states of Mewar and Marwar; and, his Deccan policy which resulted in a long-drawn struggle against the Marathas brought misfortune to the Mughal Empire. His policies sapped the economic and military resources of the Empire and the entire administration broke down.
