    Explain the reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire.

    Answer:

    After the death of Aurangzeb, the Mughal Empire began to disintegrate. A combination of reasons brought about its decline: · The economy was drained of its wealth first by Shah Jahan in constructing buildings and then by Aurangzeb in fighting wars. · It was difficult to control such a vast empire. · The successors of Aurangzeb were weak and were controlled by the greedy and corrupt nobles. · The Marathas, Rajputs and Sikhs began to assert their independence. · Nadir Shah's invasion in 1739 ruined the Mughal Empire.
