उत्तर
The Mughal army at that time was reorganized system. Under this system, manstabs had to maintain a fixed number of troops. For this, they were given jagirs as payment. An increase in the number of mansabs and a shortage of jagirs led to corruption, inefficiency in the system, and a decline in military strength. Further, the army was not able to keep pace with the times. Their equipment and techniques of warfare were out of date and ineffective. No efforts were done to reform, modernize, and strengthen the army. This all resulted in the weakening of the Mughal army.
