In Akbar's time, jagirs were carelessly assessed so that their revenues were roughly equal to the salary of the mansabdar. Mansabdars received their salaries as revenue assignments called jagirs. By Aurangzeb' time situation changed and the actual revenue collected was often less than the granted sum. There was also a huge increase in the number of mansabdars which led to a shortage in the number of jagirs.
As a result, many jagirdars tried to extract as much revenue as possible while they had a jagir. It led to the tremendous sufferings of the peasantry.

The Mughal rulers constantly campaigned against rulers who were not ready to accept their authority. Gradually, when the Mughals became powerful, many other rulers joined them willingly.
Many Rajputs offered their daughters into Mughal families in order to gain high positions or offices. The Sisodiya Rajputs refused to accept Mughal authority for a long time. Mughals never humiliated their opponents, even though they got defeated by them. This quality enabled them to extend their influence.

The Mughal rulers were descendants of two great lineages of rulers. From their mother's side, they were descendants of Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol tribes. From their father's side, they were the successors of Timur, the ruler of Iran, Iraq and modern day Turkey.
However, the Mughals did not like to be called Mongol because Mongol's especially Genghis Khan's, memory was associated with the massacre of innumerable people. It was also linked with the Uzbegs, their Mongols competitors. On the other hand, the Mughals were proud of their Timurid ancestry, because Timur captured Delhi in 1398.

The headquarter of the above society, its assembly or council is in Rome. These Jesuit priests came on a regular basis to discuss their religion in the Ibadat Khana of Akbar's palace with Akbar and other notable religions priests.

Mughal rulers campaigned constantly against rulers who refused to accept their authority. Many other rulers like Rajputs joined them voluntarily. The Rajputs are a good example of this.
Many of the Rajputs married their daughters into Mughal families and in return they are placed in key positions. But many resisted as well.
The Sisodiya Rajputs refused to accept Mughal authority for a long time.
The careful balance between defeating but not humiliating their opponent kings and chieftains enabled the Mughals to expand their kingdoms. But this attitude was not maintained by all the emperors.
Aurangzeb insulted Shivaji when he came to Agra to accept Mughal authority. The consequence of this insult was that Shivaji declared himself an independent king and resumed his rivalry against the Mughals.
