प्रश्न
Answer the following questions briefly:
Describe the religious policy of Aurangzeb. What were its results?
उत्तर
Aurangzeb’s religious policy had two aspects i.e:
- To promote the tenets of Islam and to ensure that the people led their lives accordingly.
- To adopt anti-Hindu measures.
The religious fanaticism of Aurangzeb overshadowed his virtues. His reversal of Akbar’s policy of religious toleration resulted in weakening the entire structure of the Mughal empire. It led to several conflicts and wars in different parts of the country.
These conflicts were:
- Conflict with the Jats
- Conflict with the Satnamos
- Conflict with the Sikhs
- Conflicts with the Rajput’s
- Conflict with the Marathas.
All these rebellions destroyed the peace of the empire, disrupted its economy, weakened the administrative structure, diminished its military strength, led to the failure of Aurangzeb to make any impact. Ultimately all these contributed to the downfall of the Mughal enterprise.
