Decline of Mughal Empire - SST, Class 7 Video Lecture

hi dad
what are you reading a book the last
book oh it's a famous book about the
Mughal dynasty written by William
Dalrymple what does it say about the
Mughal dynasty dad the book talks about
the fall of the great dynasty how did
that happen I thought that the Mughals
were very powerful they were very
powerful but their kingdom eventually
collapsed no more questions now JC I
want to finish the book now I want to
know about the fall of the Mughals let
me see who I can ask got it I have a
book on Bible stories we were brought in
adverse coat I'm sure he can tell me
about the Mughal Empire here goes my
dismal gadget who are you lad and why
have you got me here hello mr. Buell I'm
Jessie I wanted to ask you a few
questions about the Mughal Empire ah the
Mughals were great Empress Templar Akbar
and I avoid good friends what do you
want to know I want to know why the
Mughal Empire collapsed the downfall of
the Empire started in the late 17th
century when Shah Jahan was the Emperor
what was the reason of the downfall
the government disparity the Moghuls
ruled the kingdom wisely they're good
administration and Liberty strength made
them rich international travelers were
impressed by the bounties of the kingdom
sadly they were sold so a lot of poverty
in the Empire why was their poverty
there was so much money because the way
was not evenly distributed few people
who had lots of money while the rest had
little let me give you an example there
were 8,000 months of guards or officers
in the empire but all of them were not
paid equally only 445 were of high ranks
and got most of the money oh so there
was a lot of uneven distribution of
money yes Jesse even though the Mughals
spend a great deal on goods produced by
the poor artisans yet the primary
producers of goods such as peasants and
artisans did not benefit from it then
they did the money spent by the Mughals
go it is only the suppliers of produced
games who benefited from the Mughals
also the amount of revenue collected
only producers left these poor people
with no money for further investment on
tools to increase their productivity
okay I get it the artisans and the
peasants who produce the goods did not
get enough money for the goods they sold
it was only the richer artisans and the
peasantry who supplied the goods
benefited exactly
so you see Jesse there was a lot of
poverty and a few rich people but how
did this disparity make up the Empire
the wealth and resources had made the
rich very powerful slowly they started
becoming influential and made new
dynasties in provinces of the Mughal
Empire in the Mughal era stop them
around this time the Mogollon girl also
started becoming less powerful and could
not completely control all the provinces
that's interesting
at first these provinces recognized the
Mughal ruler in Delhi as the rampant but
later on they emerged as independent
political identities this happened 18th
century
which provinces became independent the
elite in provinces like Hyderabad and /
became very powerful and eventually
broke off from the Empire
so the Mughal emperor lost all control
it's sad that the great Mughal Empire
has come to an end this son it is sad
but that's how the Mughal Empire had to
end yes maybe I have to go now
Emperor Akbar is waiting for me inside
your book by me well thanks for talking
to me

book not yet JC you don't need to read

Mughal dynasty collapsed really yes I
