He was strictly religious, he did not respect the belief of the majority of Hindus and imposed Ziziya tax on Non-muslims, which ignited the revolt against him. He was constantly away from his capital, his policy of heavy taxes put hardship on his people, the Hindus lost trust in him and resented him. he also forbid non-Muslims to be awarded high administrative positions. Aurangzeb did not trust his kith or kin and he kept most of all the power in his hands as a result when he died in (1707) there was no one good enough to take over the throne. Aurangzeb s focus on reducing the threat of rebels and expanding his empire made him unaware of the increasing powers in the west and therefore left the empire in an desperate state after his death.
