As for Q4: Why was the size of mughal empire, reason for its downfall? /7

i. The huge empire was difficult to administer. Decisions about parts of empire were taken thousands of miles away. Obviously the emperors could not know exactly what was happening in every part of the empire.
ii. Actions against rebellions were taken many months after they broke out. This gave the Sikhs and Marathas a chance to rebel against Mughals.
iii. Because of it's large size, provincial governors did whatever they wanted to and some of them declared independence, breaking the empire into parts.

Please let me know if the reasons are okay?

 

[bakhita]

5.Why did foreign invaders attack india? /7
i. the wealth of mughals attracted them
ii. They wanted to take advantage of administrative and military weaknesses of mughal empire

and what can be the third reason?

5.Why did foreign invaders attack india? /7
i. the wealth of mughals attracted them
ii. They wanted to take advantage of administrative and military weaknesses of mughal empire

and what can be the third reason?

1. To loot the wealth of Mughal empire.
2.The mughal army declined untill it was no more an effective fighting force.. looking at the declining mughal expertise the foreign invaders considered to attack the mughal empire.
3.disunity due to succession disputes in the empire made the foreign invaders think of attacking mughal empire..

correct me.. if anyone thinks something is wrong or missing...
