Why was Aurangzeb alamgir unpopular?

Aurangzeb Alamgir, the sixth Mughal emperor, is often criticized for policies that contributed to the decline of the Mughal Empire. His strict interpretation of Islamic law, heavy taxation, and suppression of cultural and religious practices of non-Muslims led to discontent. Additionally, his expensive military campaigns strained the empire economically. These factors combined to make Aurangzeb unpopular among various segments of society.


Why was aurangzeb responsible for the decline of mughal empire?

Aurangzeb was ambitious to be the ruler of entire India. He built up a massive army and launched several military campaigns to expand his empire. He went north-west into Afghanistan, and drove southwards to conquer Bijapur and Golconda states. Though he succeeded in expanding the empire, but it was at enormous cost in lives and treasury. Instead of political solution through negotiation, he always tried to suppress the rebellions by using military force. A number of revolts rose against him throughout the empire - Rajputs, Jats, Sikhs, Satnamis, Marathas and Pathan tribes. These far-flung campaigns were extremely costly and almost drained the Mughal treasury. To sustain long costly wars, Aurangzeb obviously needed money for his armies and so he levied heavy taxes on the people including the Jizya tax on non-Muslims. This caused immense displeasure in the people and resulted in political instability in the empire. According to some historians, his religious policies were intolerant towards non-Muslims. A number of temples were destroyed and construction of new ones was forbidden, and he tried to impose Islamic laws on non-Muslims which caused an angry reaction in them. However, the kingdom survived for 150 years after Aurangzeb's death. There were a number of other reasons that lead to the disintegration of the empire including weak successors, foreign invasions, vastness of the empire, fratricidal wars and final blow from the British. So Aurangzeb solely cannot be held responsible for the collapse of the Mughal Empire.

Was the infighting between Aurangzeb's successors the most important reason for the collapse of the Mughal Empire?

The main reason for the decline of mughal empire was the wastage of money on the fight among themselves for succession.as aurangzeb was a determined, powerful and brave leader so he divided his empire between three of his sons but this did not proved to be much efficient instead three of them started fighting amongst the and this was how the wealth of mughals was wasted.JUST AFTER 10 yrs of aurangzeb death more than twelve peaple claimed to be emperor.These wars made mughals financialy bankrupt and brought them to the total decline.
