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.
