King Aurangzeb ,the son of Shah Jahan , was born on 3rd November,1618 at Dohad near Ujjain. He took over throne in 1658 and imprisoned his father , who died in his captivity in 1666.

After capturing Agra , Aurangzeb crowned himself as the emperor.He assumed the tittle of Alamgir. He abolished the inland duties (rahdari) and octroi (pandari) to please his subjects. He was a Muslim fanatic and opposed religious tolerance . He discontinued the practice of inscribing the Kalima on the coin and abolished the celebration of the New Year Day (Nawroz).

His rule was a period of ceaseless wars in different parts of India. The revolt of Rajputs proved very harmful for him . The Marathas had become very powerful under Shivaji. Aurangzeb sent Shaista Khan , the Governer of Bengal to fight against Shivaji, but Shaista Khan was defeated . Aurangzeb invited Shivaji to Agra for talks, where he was imprisoned. Shivaji , somehow managed to escape from the prison.

The Marathas , the Jats and the Sikhs never allowed Aurangzeb to rest in peace. He killed Guru Teg Bahadur , whose son ,Guru Govind Singh fought the Mughals till Aurangzeb's death in 1707.

Aurangzeb conquered Bijapur and Golconda. But due to his short -sighted policies ,he vast empire went out of his grip. Many governor revolted against the emperor and established themselves as independent rulers.

After his death Mughal empire survived till 1857.
