Answer 1

Auranzeb took a no of measures which have been called puritanical, but some measures were of an economic and social nature. Thus, he forbade singing in the court and the offical musicians were pensioned off. Instrumental music and naubat(the royal band) were however continued. Singing also continued to be patronized by the ladies in the haram, and by princes, and individual nobles. It is of some interest to note, that the largest no of persian works on classical Indian music were written in Aurangzeb’s reign, and that Aurangzeb himself was proficient in playing veena..
