Aurangzeb was honestly the worst thing to happen to the empire
if his brother got the throne instead, they wouldn't alienate their population by massacring people who showed any sign of dissidence

Mughals architecture isn't Turkish, it's more Indo-Persian.
Ayden Harris
I can't help but rage at the Hagia Sophia being on a book named "Turkish Art and Architecture". That is akin to A picture of Konigsberg (Kaliningrad) starring on a book titled "Russian Architecture"...
Sorry, you got me there

>Aurangzeb was honestly the worst thing to happen to the empire
Wew, this is one of the dumbest things I hear about Aurangzeb.
What do you think was going to happen to an Islamic empire when it's (mostly pagan) citizens couldn't relate to it? It was already tearing apart at the seams in Shah Jehans time.
>if his brother
His brother attempted to do the same by trying find a link between Islam and Hinduism whereas Aurengzab preferred to try and convert them outright.
Their goal was literally the same but Aurengzab was more militaristic so he naturally won in the war for succession.

Their end goal was the same. There's nothing that suggests that his brother wouldn't have done the same when his plan (probably) didn't work out.
