He raised taxes on non-Muslims.
Brief explanation:
- Aurangzeb reimposed the jizya (a tax on non-Muslims) in 1679 and pursued more orthodox Islamic policies, rolling back many of Akbar’s tolerant measures.
- He did not promote religious tolerance or multiculturalism in the way earlier Mughal rulers like Akbar did.
- He did not rebuild the Taj Mahal—the Taj was built by Shah Jahan (completed about 1653).
