A PRINCE’S ROLE IN THE MUGHAL GOVERNANCE: FOCUS ON AWRANGZIB
Peranan Putera Raja dalam Tadbir Urus Mughal: Tumpuan Terhadap Awrangzib
Abstract
Awrangzib or Aurangzeb is acknowledged as the best among the Moghul rulers in the Age of the Great Moghuls. His efforts in ensuring the stability of Moghul reign are the primary indicator that places him on par with Akbar the Great. However, his role in Moghul governance did not just begin on becoming an Emperor. Instead, he was earlier already governing as a prince. This research examines the prince’s role as an institution of Moghul governance by focusing on Aurangzeb’s roles, particularly during his father, Shah Jahan. This study is a qualitative research within using the historical study and content analysis as the research design. Research findings show that Aurangzeb played the primary roles of military leader and governor. Such roles ensured the stability of Moghul rule despite various challenges. His experience in governing the Moghul kingdom while he was a prince shaped and influenced his Moghul policies when he ascended to the throne in 1657.
