Answer 2

Answer:

The successor was decided in the Mughal Empire by a sword.  

Explanation:

By the time of Aurangzeb's death, the 'Mughal Empire' was on its downward course, and his weak successors only accelerated the process. The Deccan, like all other imperial Subahs, was in a welter of anarchy.  

When Shahu was realized by Azam shah, he had been granted the right of realizing the Chauth and Sardeshmukhi from the 'six Subahs of the Deccan'.
