Solution
The later Mughal rulers were so weak that they could not hold the provinces of the empire together. These provinces were under Governors who were always engaged in wars. Gradually, they took advantage of the situation of misrule and misgovernance by the central authority and declared independence. Thus, Bengal, Hyderabad, Awadh Rohikhand became independent one after the other.
