Shah Jahan Aurangzeb Akbar Humayun |
Aurangzeb |
The correct answer is Option 2- Aurangzeb In the war of succession that occurred in the lifetime of Shah Jahan, he was defeated by his brother Aurangzeb. Alamgir Aurangzeb came to power to stimulate the political scenario and give it the verve of Akbar’s period. This succession and series of battles and conquest in Deccan India got the Mughal empire back on track. His focus was on the expansion of the Mughal empire and its unification under his leadership. Aurangzeb did not put as much effort to elevate the production of the Mughal atelier. However, unlike the popular belief the royal atelier was not shut down immediately and continued producing beautiful pointings. |
