Aurangzeb faced significant opposition from various leaders and groups during his reign. Notably, the Maratha king Shivaji and his successors, including Sambhaji and Shivaji II, led a strong resistance against Mughal domination in the Deccan. Additionally, the Sikh Guru Gobind Singh and the Jat chieftains also opposed Aurangzeb's policies, contributing to the decline of Mughal authority in India. The resistance movements were characterized by guerrilla warfare and the assertion of regional identities against Aurangzeb's centralized rule.
Aurangzeb, the sixth Mughal emperor, engaged in several significant battles during his reign. Notably, he fought against the Marathas, with key battles including the Battle of Bijapur (1686) and the prolonged conflicts led by Shivaji and his successors. He also faced resistance from the Rajputs, culminating in the Battle of Dara Shikoh (1659) and various skirmishes throughout his rule. Additionally, Aurangzeb's campaigns in the Deccan aimed to consolidate Mughal power in southern India, leading to intense military engagements against local kingdoms.

"Aurangzeb" means "Ornament of the Throne".
Aurangzeb fought many wars of expansion (not all of them successful). These had cost a lot of money, and so taxes had to be increased.This caused hardships and famine for the ordinary Indian. Aurangzeb's wars significantly weakened both the Mughal state finances and the military, and left India open to attack from Afghanistan and Persia, which caused more hardships for ordinary people.
