He conquered Bijapur in 1686 and Golconda in 1687. With the fall of these two kingdoms, Aurangzeb made himself master of the Deccan but he still had to face the tenacious and hardy Marathas. ‘A famous historian says of Aurangzeb: Under him the Mughal Empire reached its greatest extent, and the largest single state known in India, from the dawn of history to the rise of the British, was formed. From Ghazni to Chittagong, from Kashmir to the Karnatak, the continent of India obeyed one scepter. The Empire thus formed, while extraordinary in size, was also one political unit. The Provinces were not ruled by sub- kings but directly by the servants of the crown. Herein Aurangzeb's Indian Empire was vaster than that of Ashoka, Samudragupta or Harshavardhan.
