Aurangzeb
Aurangzeb was the sixth Mughal emperor, reigning from 1658 until his death in 1707. He is known for his expansion of the Mughal Empire to its greatest territorial extent, but his rule was also marked by religious intolerance and conflict with various regional powers, including the Marathas. His policies and military campaigns significantly impacted the socio-political landscape of India during his time, leading to both admiration and criticism from historians.
