Aurangzeb's ascension initially changed little about the Hindu share in Mughal administration. Under Akbar, for example, Hindus constituted 22.5 per cent pf all Mughals nobles. That percentage hardly budged in either direction under Shah Jahan, and, in the twenty-one years of Aurangzeb's reign (1658-79), it stayed level at 21.6 per cent. But between 1679 and 1707 Aurangzeb increased Hindu participation at the elite levels of the Mughal state by nearly 50 per cent. Hindus rose to 31.6 per cent of the Mughal nobility. This dramatic rise featured a substantial influx of Marathas as a strategic aspect of expanding Mughal sovereignty across the Deccan.
