Solution
Aurangzeb was not a successful emperor. He did not realize the importance of religious tolerance and the support and unity of the people for the progress of the empire. His policy towards the Sikhs the Marathas the Jats and the Rajputs lost their support. His Deccan campaign also proved a failure and drained the wealth of the kingdom too. This all resulted in the decline of the Mughals.
