Q : Explain Why the Mughal Empire declined following the reign of Aurangzeb. [7]

Ans : Firstly, Aurangzeb's successors fought for succession to the throne which seriously undermined the
military and financial strengths of the empire. Many important personalities who were capable of running
the affairs of the state lost their lives in these wars.

He was an 'Orthodox' emperor, he banned alcohol, music and dance. In some places Hidu temples were also destroyed.
At that movement first time whole empire faced serious challenges by rebellions. and that was the biggest reason of Mughal decline.

The successors of Aurangzeb were pleasure-loving and did not take serious interests in the affairs of the
empire. They gave all the powers to their ministers and nawabs who governed the state according to their
own interests and wishes. They were extravagant in spite of poor economical conditions. They spent a lot
of money on finest dresses, jewelry and foods. They used to serve a number of dishes in official
invitations.

They gave no attention to the development of modern warfare tools, military training and naval
technology. Due to their weak military position, they could not defend the empire against external
invasions and internal rebellions.
