But the peace did not last more than ten years. In June 1681, the faujdar of the environs of Agra had to lead an expedition against some villagers and was mortally wounded by them. This was a purely agrarian revolt, and was probably soon ended. In 1686, when the Emperor was engaged with his many enemies in the Deccan, the second great Jat rising began, under the leadership of Rajaram, and though Rajaram was soon slain, his brother's son Churaman, with his head-quarters at Sansani, carried on an intermittent war till the end of Aurangzib's life, and could not be subdued by that Emperor's decadent successors.
