After his death, infighting and political rivalries would destroy the stability of the empire, and leave India more open to English colonial interests. Aurangzeb stands accused of religious intolerance and genocide against Hindus and competing sects of Islam; contrastingly, some historians have argued that he was largely slandered by English historians and local rivals who sought to replace him. A major power in the region, his influence at the start of the 18th century was immense (depicted here in the Deccan).
