Abstract :

The collapse of Mughal Empire has remained a widely debated issue amongst the historians. These debates arise mainly due to two reasons- differing opinions and the vantage point which a historian uses (e.g. peasants, jagirdars, zamindars, etc.). This paper will analyse the causes of the downfall of Mughal Empire and summarize different theories that have been put forward to explain the collapse. We start by answering whether the collapse of the Mughal Empire was a decline or a fall. Then we will look into the nature of the collapse.
