The historians of all hues since the 18th century have debated the cause of the decline of Mogul Empire. The notion of decline envisages a prior state of perfection, the fluorescence harmony and cohesion, in contrast to corruption, moral degradation, and loss of ethical values, principles and customs. The moguls failed because they made little if any effort to drag in the out of the middle ages. The mughal empire writes Abraham, a rally lagged way behind europe behind even china japan and Persia.

The Mughal dynasty formally continued in existence after 1803 under British tutelage Until 1857, when the british deposed the last emperor bahadur Shah the second and sent him as a prisoner to Rangoon. There have been numerous attempts to explain the fall of the mughal empire.
