write short note on Aurangzeb and also declined of the Mughal empire
Answers
Answer:
When Aurangzeb died, the empire of the Mughals was the largest in India. Yet, within about fifty years of his death, the Mughal Empire disintegrated. Aurangzeb's death was followed by a war of succession among his three sons. It ended in the victory of the eldest brother, Prince Muazzam.
Explanation:
Aurangzeb’s long absence from the capital had given rein to disorder in the north, the Jats had risen near about Agra, the Rajputs were in open rebellion, the Sikhs challenged the Mughal authority in Multan, the Marathas in the Deccan were pillaging towns, ravaging fields and villages.
The Bundelas and the Satnamis were no exceptions. For all this, Aurangzeb had to thank himself. He had virtues as well vices but nothing influenced his career more than religious bigotry and intolerance. He failed to realize that no power that had not acquired the confidence of, the Hindus could expect to last in India. Naturally, what Akbar had gained and what Jahangir or Shah Jahan despite personal vices and failings had retained, he lost, namely, the affection of the Hindus.
