Q:-Why was aurangzeb unpopular by the time of his death in 1707?
Answer:-Aurangzeb fought many wars of expansion (not all of them successful). These had cost a lot of money, and so taxes had to be increased.This caused hardships and famine for the ordinary Indian. Aurangzeb's wars significantly weakened both the Mughal state finances and the military, and left India open to attack from Afghanistan and Persia, which caused more hardships for ordinary people.
