Answer:
The reasons why Aurangzeb was instrumental in bringing the empire on the verge of downfall:-
One of the main reasons for the decline of the Mughal empire was his Deccan campaigns. Aurangzeb stayed in Deccan in the last 25 years of his rule. In his absence, the Mughal court was divided into many fractions. There was lawlessness and corruption. Many nobles became rebellious. The Deccan campaigns also drained the royal treasury.
Aurangzeb did not trust any of his nobles or sons. Over eighty years of age, he ruled till his last day. Weak successors of Aurangzeb were not able to hold the once mighty Mughal empire together.
