Question
How was the empire further weakened?
✓

Answer

The empire was already under severe pressures from all sides. It was further weakened by competition amongst different groups of nobles.
  • They were divided into two major groups or fractions; the Iranis and Turanis.
  • For a long time, the later Mughal emperors were puppets in the hands of either one or the other of these too powerful groups.
  • The worst possible humiliation came when two Mughal emperors, Farrukh Siyar (1713-1719) and Alamgir II (1754-1759) were assassinated.
  • Two others Ahmad Shah (1748-1754) and Shah Alam II (1759-1816) were blinded by their nobles.
