The Mughal Empire had started facing a crisis towards the end of the 17 th century. Which of the following was NOT a factor for it?

Explanation

The correct answer is The later Mughals kept a good check on their powerful 'mansabdars'. Important Points By the 17th century, the Mughal Empire started facing a lot of crises. The main cause for this was Aurangzeb’s exploitations in Deccan India. Aurangzeb fought a long war in the Deccan. This war resulted in the depletion of military and financial resources of the Mughal Empire. It left the Empire unstable for future generations. Hence statement 1 is correct. Under the rule of his successors, the efficiency of imperial administration broke down too . Hence statement 2 is correct. The peasants and zamindars added to this problem by starting rebellions in northern and western India. They did this because of the taxes which had been increased due to the corruption by mansabdars . Hence statement 4 is correct. During this period, Nadir Shah (ruler of Iran) attacked Delhi and looted away a large amount of wealth. Ahmad Shah Abdali invaded north India five-time from 1748 to 1761. Hence statement 3 is incorrect.
