Q:what were the reasons for the decline of the mughal empire? [7]:
A:
there were a number of reasons for the decline of the mughal empire namely the nature of the empire, the cosequences of success and the arrival of the british.
Firstly, the nature of the empire was such that it was difficult to administer as it was very large. taxes were high and aurengzebs polices such as jizya brought many revolts. these wars cost alot of money and it was nearly emptied due to the wars of succession this weakend the empire and led to its decline
Secondly, due to success they became relaxed and complacent, the empire was not governed properly, there was corruption and huge sums of money was spent to make extravagant palaces. soon the military experties too declined and the mughals became ineffective in wars due to which the lost territory. this loss of power and the complacencies led to their decline
Finally, it was the british who pushed them into the final decline. overall they were superior in every department than the mughals. they had better weaponary and were technologically much more advanced and with the dividing mughal empire it was easy for them to take over the land as they were at the time the most powerfull nation in the world. these British strengths combined with the mughal weaknesses led them to their final decline.these are the reasons why the mughals declined.

The details are ambiguous which is never liked by a cambridge examiner nature of the empire was basically vastness of empire there was no need to add wars of succession and high taxes to it as these are other reasons and it will be a mere identification of reasons. You could add that duue to the vastness of empire the rulers could not keep an eye and thus it resulted in lack of liaison as i read your question very carefuuly ill give you 5 although the paragraphing was good you must focus on explanation of the reason u identified giving other reasons to a reason is not an explanation instead it will keep you to a level 2

well i want ask that is sindhi most developed language or punjabi as punjabi is taught up to MA level in pakistan?

 

[rabi-t]

Its very simple. It was justified due to the congress tyranny and not justified because muslims didnot think that the hindu muslim unity will be affected. Secondly, congress started non cooperation against british so muslims would have also joined the cause but they instead went against hindus. So thats why it was not justified is that clear?

got it, thanks!

Q: why was the muslim league formed? 7\marks
A:
Firstly, the muslim league was formed to counter the congress.the simla deputation was accepted and they had a province in which they were in majority bus they still lacked the influence the hindus had gained from the congress so to counter that growing hindu influence the muslim league was formed.

Secondly, the hindus reacted violently to the partiton of Bengal which showed how divided the communities were. muslims couldn't rely on the congress and wanted to ensure their views received a hearing from the British. so the Muslim was formed to ensure that the Muslim views received a hearing from the British.

Lastly, the Muslim league was formed due to the concessions made by lord minto to the simla deputation. muslims were granted seperate muslim electorates and 1/3rd seats. with the concessions and it being clear that the congress was a Hindu dominant party it was a small step to make their own party and ensure the British heard their views.

Q : Why was Urdu chosen as the national language of Pakistan ? [7].

At the time of independence Quaid-e-Azam chose Urdu as the natioonal language of the new country . The main reasons for this choice were the language's high status and association with the Pakistan Movement.

One of the reasons that urdu became the national language of Pakistan was its long and golden history. It was widely used in the mughal era and its history dates back to the Delhi Sultanate. It was widely understood by the muslim population as well as the army too. It was a well know language and considered the language for the muslims and had became very popular too. Therefore Urdu's history contributed alot to its selection as the national language

Secondly Urdu was selected for its high status. Urdu had a vast and rich literature and was classed as an important language of the world even before Partition. Some of the most finest and popular poets and writers of the world wrote in Urdu. Amir Khusro was the first one who used this language in his literary works. Many popular and Well Known poets rabnging from about 3 centuries wrote in urdu. Amongst them were Mirza Ghalib , Bahadur Shah Zafar , Mir Taqi Mir , Mir Zauq , Allama Iqbal , Chaudary Rehmat Ali , Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan to name a few. Sir Syed's school at Aligarh became a centre for the study of this language. The Holy Qur'an had also been translated in Urdu. Urdu novels and Literary works were (and still) are very popular and thus Urdu was considered a language of rich literary tradition.

Perhaps the major reason for Urdu's selection was its long association with the Pakistan Movement and the Road to Independence. Sir Syed was in favour of Urdu and supported it during the highly controversial Hindi - Urdu controversy. Secondly Muslim League's agenda was to save and promote Urdu. Urdu was seen as a uniting force for the whole muslim population and it was considered as a langauge for the muslims for about 300 years. No other provincial or regional language was fit or best enough to become the national language. Quaid saw it to unite the newly independent muslim populationans since Pakistan was a new countryit was pretty much appropriate to pick a language that had played its part in unifying and consolidating the muslims.

Therefore on account of its long history, high status and relation to the road to independence Urdu was rightfully chosen as the national language of Pakistan.
