Question

How did the Mughal empire decline?

Long Answer
Advertisements

Solution

The Mughal Empire declined due to prolonged military campaigns (notably in the Deccan), the rise of regional powers such as the Marathas, heavy financial strain, and weak successors to Aurangzeb. External events such as the East India Company’s 1757 foothold in Bengal further eroded imperial authority, leaving the Mughals a shadow of their former power.
