Question

what gave rise to the discord between the Mughals and the Sikhs in the 17th century how did Aurangzeb eliminate the sikhs further​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The militant Sikh faction organised themselves in jathas, who would see their first battle in 1621. After several decades, small Sikh states known as misls combined to form the Sikh Confederacy in 1716, that jointly fought against Mughal power. In 1735, the jathas would be combined into a single army, the Dal Khalsa. Though successes varied, the Sikhs contributed to the decline of the Mughal Empire during the first half of the 18th century. By the 1750s, the neighbouring northwestern Islamic Durrani Empire and the weaker southern Hindu Maratha Empire had all but destroyed the Mughal Empire, which retained a small territory around Delhi.
