The declining power of the Mughals also gave rise to the regional powers like the Jats, Sikhs and Marathas.
The Crisis of the Empire and the Later Mughals
After reaching its zenith, Mughal empire started declining under Emperor Aurangzeb. This was because of Aurangzeb’s military and religious policy which depleted the financial resources of the Mughals.
Under his succession, the efficiency of the imperial administration broke down. It became difficult to check governors and mansabdars.
In the midst of this crisis, Nadir Shah’s invasion in 1739 and invasions of Afghan ruler Ahmed Shah Abdali between 1748-1761, weakened the Mughal empire.
The nobility was divided into two major groups Iranis and Turanis. For a long time, the later Mughal emperors were puppets in the hands of either one or the other of these two powerful groups.
