Question

State any one major cause of the decline of the Mughal empire.

Answer 1

1) Mansabdari System
2) Invasion By Ahmed Shah Abdalli & Nadir Shah
3) Jagirdari Crisis

Answer 2

Answer:

# The successive rulers after Aurangzeb were weak, unworthy and lacked the character, motivation and commitment to rule the empire strongly.

# Aurangzeb’s policies made enemies of the Rajputs, Sikhs, Jats and the Marathas.

# His frequent wars depleted the treasury.

# The raids by Nadir Shah, and repeated invasions of Ahmad Shah Abdali, resulted in further weakening of the empire.
