Explain why Mughal Empire declined following the reign of Aurangzeb?

After the death of Aurangzeb, the Mughal Empire began to decline. There are several reasons for it.

Firstly, there was not law of succession to make it clear who would rule the Mughal Empire after the death of an Emperor. This led to infighting among the princes of the Empire,who fought wars among themselves. These wars were expensive thus emptying the Mughal's treasury.

Secondly, the next rulers of the Mughal Empire were lazy and corrupt, they were more interested in pleasure seekings instead of administering the empire. Bahadur Shah Zafar II was all the time busy in writing poetry and didnt pay attention to his empire. And then the vastness of empire created major problem for the rulers, several revolts arose in different part of the kingdom which caused a lot of trouble to Mughal Empire. Gradually, the India got divided into several states such as Marathas in Deccan and Sikhs rule in Punjab.

Thirdly, the invasions from foreigners weakened the Mughal Empire. In 1739, a Persian leader, Nadir Shah invaded Delhi. His army defeat the Mughal's army which exposed their weakness. He left India after looting the Mughal Empire, he took the Peacock throne and much more. Other invasion was from Ahmaad Shah Abdali in 1761. The final blow came from the British. The British were much powerful and stronger than the Indian.

The Khilafat Movement failed by 1924 because Gandhi withdrew his support.’ Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.

answer)
The Khilafat Movement failed by 1924 because of several reasons.

Gandhi saw Khilafat Movement as an opportunity to protest against the British. He supported the Khilafat Movement by his non-cooperation movement. In 1922, an event occurred which led to Gandhi's withdrew his support from the movement. In Chaura Chouri village, a police station was set on fire killing number of police men. After this event, Gandhi withdrew his support as he thought his movement was turning violent which he didnt wanted. This was a huge setback from the Khilafat Movement as Gandhi's non coperation movement was helping them alot but now they got weakened.

There are other reasons too for the failure of Khilafat Movement. In 1920, Muslims were asked to migrate to nearest Muslim country because India was declared 'Dar-ul-Harb' a land at war. Almost 18000 Muslims left their home and their property behind in India. They were expected to be granted with a warm welcome by the Afghan government but they refused to give shelter to them. Muslims were left with no option but to return back. Some died on their way return back while other were homeless and lost their property. The Muslims hopes were broken and they didnt had any trust on the Khilafat Movement.

The important leaders of the Khilafat Movement were arrested such as Gandhi, Maulana Shaukat Ali,Maulana Muhammad Ali. With the absence of proper leadership, the Movement got weakened.
But the most important reason happened in 1924. Mustafa Kamal Attaburk, announced that Khilafat was abolished in Turkey and it became republic in 1924. After the Khilafat was abolished in Turkey, there was no reason for continue with the Khilafat Movement.

Thus it can be concluded that Establishment of Khilafat by Mustafa Kamal Attaburk was the most important reason which led to failure of Mughal Empire.
