ACK-E-883-The Decline Of The Mughal Empire

THE DECLINE OF THE MUGHAL EMPIRE

In 1707, Aurangzeb breathed his last as the emperor of the vast Mughal Empire that spread from Afghanistan to Bengal and Kashmir to the Carnatic region. The empire left to his descendants was the world's largest economy of its time. Yet, it descended into oblivion. How did this empire, which spanned four centuries, end up in shambles? The years following Aurangzeb's demise were fraught with frequent battles of succession, infighting and betrayal, bringing forth inept rulers and poor leaders. The emperors thereafter led decadent lives, leaving the administration to corrupt officials, emptying coffers on frivolity, and bringing disrepute to their lineage. This rendered them so weak that they could barely defend themselves against enemies, eventually having to cede their powers in exchange for protection. Amar Chitra Katha brings you 'The Decline of the Mughal Empire', narrating the saga of how the sun set on a once powerful dynasty.
