Why did the Sikhs, the Jats, the Satnamis, the Rajputs revolted against Aurangzeb reign
Answers
Answer:
Aurangzeb was one of the most ruthless mughal ruler. His relegious policies were very rigid and horrible. His intolerance towards others relegions as well as raising of taxes led the satnamis and rajput revolt against him . Ending of masabdari system which kept the rajput tied to th Mughals is also a major reason.
The rebellion of Sikhs against Aurangzeb directly began in 1675 after the execution of Guru Teg Bahadur. After the death of Guru Teg Bahadur, Guru Govind Singh has consistently opposed Aurangzeb's fanatic policies. These rebellions were mainly against due to Aurangzeb's anti-hindu policies. The destruction of their temples had angered them and they did not tolerate it. The building of a mosque at the site of Lord Krishna's birth in Mathura was grudged. In Naranaul & Mewat districts, the Satnamis formed a Hindu religious sect.
