About this listen

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Aurangzeb Alamgir, the sixth Mughal emperor who ruled for nearly 50 years. They discuss his controversial policies, including the reimposition of jizya, destruction of temples, and the long Deccan Wars against the Maratha leader Shivaji. The conversation also covers Aurangzeb's military campaigns, his religious orthodoxy, the rebellion of his son Prince Akbar, and the eventual fragmentation of the empire. Key figures include Shivaji, Dara Shikoh, Murad Bakhsh, and the Maratha king Sambhaji. The episode examines whether Aurangzeb was a villain or a misunderstood pragmatist, and how his reign set the stage for the British East India Company's rise.
