Aurangzeb was determined for power and he continued to spread his power or empire over most of the India.Most people say that the mughal empire declined because there was no one to see over the huge empire,this started because with Aurangzeb and because of that the people organized their own army(those were landlords)secretly ,became powerful and rebelled against Aurangzeb.Now a question arises why did they rebel against Aurangzeb when they were living in peace and harmony?

Answer:Aurangzeb organized the Jizya tax which caused hardship with Aurangzeb most people thought that it was a strategy to turn non-Muslims into Muslims and they started to rebel and Aurangzeb couldn't do anything about as corruption began to grew between the army
