How far did the Mughal weaknesses from 1707 make decline inevitable?
The Mughal's didn't follow any laws of succession. each time a ruler died, a war of succession started between the brothers for the throne. this weakened the mughal Empire, especially after Aurangzeb's death. the nobles by sitting with one contender or the other, increased there power. Aurangzeb failed to realize that the vast mughal empire depended on the willing support of the people. he lost the support of the rajputs who had acted as pillars of support, but Aurangzeb's policies turned them to bitter faces. the wars with the rajputs had drained the resources of the mughal empire. Aurangzeb's long wars in the south had further drained the treasure of the mughal empire. the invasions of Nadir shah and Ahmed shah Abdali resulted in further drainage of their wealth. these invasions of Nadir shah shook the stability of the empire. the mughal empire had become too large to be controlled by any ruler from one center for example Delhi. nearby provinces become independent. the rise of independent states led to the decline of mughal empire.
