Detailed Solution

The authority of Aurangzeb was challenged by Marathas for a long time.
Aurangzeb was the last efficient Mughal emperor. He was followed by the weak rulers, who the Britishers easily defeated. During the authority of Aurangzeb, the Maratha rulers greatly challenged him for an extended period. Aurangzeb had to encounter the hegemony of Shivaji in the last years of his rule.
