How was the territory of the Mughal Empire during Aurangzeb's reign?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Very extensive
During Aurangzeb's reign the Mughal Empire reached its greatest territorial extent, especially through campaigns in the Deccan. However, this expansion also created long wars, heavy military costs and administrative difficulties, so a large territory did not mean complete political stability. It was not restricted to Bengal or Kabul, nor was it very small.
