Aurangzeb faced significant opposition from various leaders and groups during his reign. Notably, the Maratha king Shivaji and his successors, including Sambhaji and Shivaji II, led a strong resistance against Mughal domination in the Deccan. Additionally, the Sikh Guru Gobind Singh and the Jat chieftains also opposed Aurangzeb's policies, contributing to the decline of Mughal authority in India. The resistance movements were characterized by guerrilla warfare and the assertion of regional identities against Aurangzeb's centralized rule.
