pls mark me brainleast... God bless you.

Explanation:

Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad (3 November 1618 – 3 March 1707),commonly known by the sobriquet Aurangzeb (Persian: "Ornament of the Throne") or by his regnal title Alamgir (Persian: "Conqueror of the World"),was the sixth Mughal emperor, who ruled over almost the entire Indian subcontinent for a period of 49 years. Widely considered to be the last effective ruler of the Mughal Empire,Aurangzeb compiled the Fatawa-e-Alamgiri, and was among the few monarchs to have fully established Sharia law and Islamic economics throughout the Indian subcontinent.[page needed] He was an accomplished military leader[11] whose rule has been the subject of praise, though he has also been described as the most controversial ruler in Indian history

Answer 2

Answer:

After Aurangzeb's death, his eldest son by his chief consort, Muhammad Azam Shah, declared himself successor, but was shortly defeated in one of the largest battles of India, the Battle of Jajau and overthrown by Bahadur Shah.

Bahadur Shah was the successor of Aurangzeb. Most of Aurungzeb’s successors were pleasure loving, politically weak and inefficient. Therefore, they failed in managing the huge empire which their predecessors had built. As a direct result of this, the Mughal nobility became powerful and began to control the Mughal emperors like puppets. Some distant governors saw in this an opportunity to carve out an empire for themselves and hence declared their independence, further weakening and destabilising the central Mughal authority.
