Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor who reigned from 1658 to 1707, is known to have had several wives, although the exact number is debated. Historical accounts suggest he had at least four principal wives, but it is likely that he had many more secondary wives and concubines. His marriages were often politically motivated, aimed at strengthening alliances with various regional powers.

Murad and Daniel, sons of Akbar, died in the late 16th century due to a combination of political intrigue and familial conflict. Murad was involved in a rebellion against his brother Jahangir and was ultimately captured, leading to his execution in 1599. Daniel, the younger son, died in 1605, reportedly from illness, although some accounts suggest he may have been a victim of the turbulent political circumstances of the time. Their deaths reflect the complexities and dangers of Mughal royal succession.

Akbar the Great was the greatest ruler of the Mughal dynasty and ruled from 1556 to 1605.

He angered other Hindu nations. These nations including Marathas started war against him. In this war he lost major territories.

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.

Late Mughal leaders' intolerance of non-Muslim citizens weakened the empire.
