I hate this guy Aurengzaeb... he was reason of Mughal dynasty downfall. power maniac religious extremist...put his own father in prison and murdered his brother.

Aurengazeb was a psychotic according to me.True, he was one of the reason. The man expanded his empire through force, and brutality.🥱🥱If Dara had come to the throne, Mughal glory might have lasted longer. Aurengzeb's descendants were bad not compare to him . They were tolerant than him. The only problem was that after Aurengzeb descendant were not that bright compare to their ancestors . My favorite Mughal Emperor is Akbar.Shah Jahan but I have a little problem with him.😆I love how this man who had world in his feet loved only one woman. Akbar son did accomplish a lot of things, but compare to his father and his son, he seems like a good for nothing man who was high on opium. and wine.

Thanks for sharing the link.

I have found information/stories about the Moghal Dynasty to be quite fascinating...but have taken some of it with a pinch of salt as much of History has been written by the winners of wars. Some kings were more tolerant than the others and some out right cruel...but survival instinct is something most long term rulers had in common as danger was prevalent not only from external enemies but also from within the palace.

The link below gives a brief history of the Moghul Empire
