• It is generally accepted that Aurangzeb was a

fanatic Muslim. His chief aim was to convert
Dar-ul-harb (India: the country of Kafirs or
infidels) to Dar-ul-Islam (country of Islam). He
was intolerant towards other faiths, especially
Hindus.
 Aurangzeb’s religious policy had two
aspects 
• (i) To promote the tenets of Islam and to
ensure that the people led their lives
accordingly.
• (ii) To adopt anti-Hindu measures.
• 1. Demolishing temples and breaking idols:
• 2. Imposition of Jaziya:
• 3. Discriminatory toll far:
• 4. Removal of the Hindus from Government
jobs:
• 5. Restrictions on Hindu educational
institutions:
• 6. Conversion through different means:
• 7. Social restrictions:
• Results of the religious policy of Aurangzeb:
• 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:
• (i) Conflict with the Jats
• (ii) Conflict with the Satnamos
• (iii) Conflict with the Sikhs
• (iv) Conflicts with the Rajput’s
• (v) Conflict with the Marathas.
