Explanation:

❤Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (1618 – 1707) was an orthodox Muslim ruler. He reigned for 49 years until his death in 1707. His religious intolerance brought about the ultimate demise of Mughal rule in India. His sole aim was to make Islam, the dominant religion in India.  

In keeping with austere, religious Islamic beliefs, along with ban on drinking, gambling etc., he banned music and singing in his kingdom.❤
