julia-pushkina [17]

The answer you are looking for is option 3. Heavy taxes imposed by Aurangzeb.

In the late 1600s, Emperor Aurangzeb rejected the tolerant policies of Akbar and resumed<em> the persecution of the Hindus</em> that existed before him, <em>which caused economic difficulties increased under heavy taxes and discontent sparked revolts against the Mughal rule. </em>
