A History of Agriculture in India v2.c85.12

v2.c85.12

Much high-handedness and oppression came to an end, and the Deccan provinces attained a high level of prosperity.² It is unfortunate that the concern which Aurangzeb showed for the peasantry as a prince was no longer there when he became the Emperor.
