Popular Revolts and Movements for Regional Independence
Aurangzeb faced numerous political problems, including the Marathas in the Deccan, the Jats and Rajputs in north India, and the Afghans and Sikhs in the northwest.
Some of these problems were inherited from his predecessors but assumed different characters under Aurangzeb.
It has been argued that these movements, excluding the Afghan one, represented a Hindu reaction against Aurangzeb’s narrow religious policies.
In a predominantly Hindu country, any movement against the Muslim central government could be seen as a challenge to Islam.
Leaders of these movements often used religious slogans or symbols to broaden their appeal, making religion part of societal and political movements.
