Aurangzeb’s policy of religious intolerance shook the foundations of the empire and resulted in the following:
• The costly, long-drawn and ruinous Deccan campaign.
• Numerous wars with the Sikhs, the Marathas, the Jats and the Rajputs.
• Loss of support of the loyal Rajputs who had earlier contributed greatly to the stability of the Mughal empire but now became its bitter foes.
