[@FalseNomen]

For anyone interested in this subject, I'd strongly recommend William Dalrymple's "The Anarchy." It talks about this subject and explains the dismal state of much of India as the EIC rose to power. It explains how a private corporation could have ever taken over a country. Along the way, we meet villainous and virtuous nawabs, as well as the tragic figure of Shah Alam II. Alam II's story is so interesting, it'd be worth having its own video.

@@ChevyChase301 Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania were Catholic Christian. So from an orthodox perspective maybe schismatic, but from an ottoman perspective they were suspicious as followers of Rome instead of Constantinople. This is one of the reasons why these regions became more Muslim over time while the Orthodox regions, with their leader a subject of the Ottomans, were able to keep their religious character more easily.

[@wkhan5]

I do believe your depiction of Shah Alam I is quite wide of the mark. He faced multiple rebellions after becoming emperor and in his 5 years- he managed to quell all of them through military might and diplomacy, kept the nobility in check while keeping the integrity of the Mughal Empire intact and at the same level as Aurangzeb. If it were not for the fact that he died after only 5 years- the empire could have attained stability for longer. Some call Shah Alam I, the last great Mughal Empire for that reason. He successfully carried on the legacy of his ancestors but was curtailed due to his health related death

[@MohsinRaza-uq2ow]

I second that he had set his perspective right had a vision. Made peace with the Sikhs and rajputs things had started to soften up and was about to run smoothly as we had seen in the time during Akbar the great but unfortunately he died pretty soon(in terms of his reign)

the point is the political structure was stupid and obsolete absolute monarchies don't work and do not last for long....one of the main reason british empire rose to its heights is because of stable politics back home because of democracy even tho at the time it was only for the nobles and land owners mughals were blessed by having back to back good rulers who could maintain the order but eventually it collapsed like all monarchies do...... most indian states until the republic of india failed to establish a strong political system that caused no problems during succession....even today pakistan still faces this curse....idk enough about bangladesh to comment on them

[@LUCIFERDEVIL-tw6jg]

Aurangzeb was literally the reason for the downfall of Mughal Empire. He imposed orthodox Islamic law in it's non-muslim population,that lead to rebellions over the Kingdom.Never ending rebellions took place and he spent his most of the treasury in Military and still wasn't able to crush rebellions. Aurangzeb literally couldn't defeat a small Maratha Empire with 2000 troops for his whole life and in the end Maratha Empire ended Mughal rule over India.

[@LUCIFERDEVIL-tw6jg]

You will be surprised to know that Mughal Army consists a good number of non-muslim soldiers who were upset with the hardcore Islam he was following and they end up joining the Rebellions against him..

And thus the Mughals screwed the pooch... WOW! I think of what the Khulafa-e-Rashidin had been, what they'd stood for, and then of how far removed from them the Mughals were... Muslims only in name! Generations bore the brunt of Mughal greed and stupid self importance, some still do. I guess I now understand where some of the hostility that immigrants to Pakistan faced in 1947 had come from... Pakistan is stil being opressed by similar shayateen. I had always wondered how such people could exist... Now I know.... they Mughals in spirit and will do anything for power (no offense intended to my brothers of Mughal cast, you guys are awesome and I love you all!), with no regard for the people they rule, nor fear of Allah. To top it off, the Mughals went to hell themselves, but left behind bloody goras, who totally destroyed us, our culture and our languages. To this day, at least in Pakistan, to be recognized as educated and literate, one must be fluent in English, no matter how stupid or dumb they are. Flex your English here and you'll be 'THE MAN'. The smartest of people, how ever well educated, are laughed at and thought of as 'paindu' if they can't speak English well. What a shame. Our whole school curriculum is in English where as our national language is Urdu! How idiotic is that? All our official correspondence is in English. Allah Hu Akbar!! The French officially correspond in French, the Arabs in Arabic, other nations do so in their national languages.... Hamain kya paghal kuttay nay kata hai? I am a teacher by trade and it pains me to see intelligent, smart children struggule with Science, Social Studies, Math, even Islamaiat in English. These kids don't speak English anywhere, the language is as foreign to them as French would be, yet, they're forced to study a difficult subject in a foreign language, not in a language that they're born with, a language they speak fluently, think in and even fight in. It's only a matter of time before they start teaching Urdu in English as well. Allah Hu Akbar!! I am fond of telling anyone who'd listen that 'ham English seekh nahi sakay aur Urdu bhool gaye' (We failed to lean English and have forgotten Urdu) Our schools have done away with Arabic, tell me, how then are we supposed to understand what Allah says in the Quran? .... I remember Arab elders in a mosque in Qatar scolding me and my young friends when they found out that we could all read the Quran very well but couldnt understand a world of it... Urdu, Arabic, Persian and Sanskrit too, if you please, were our languages.... The languages of Scholars, Poets and thinkers, and now, we've been reduced to texting in Roman Urdu, and say 'F@$k' in English. I bet Sir Sirsyed Ahmed Khan never thought of this when he was promoting English education... Soon, Pakistanis will be a nation without a language.... An amazing job with the series by the way. MashaAllah. Very well done! I hope you'll do a series on British Raaj too. Jazakum Allahu Khairan Katheeran! And by the way, if my rant has somehow offended anyone, I apologize. Lot's a love from Pakistan. Wassalam Wa Rehmah.

[@vengyfries6934]

Aurangzeb alone defeated the English, Chinese and Portuguese. He as been one of the most righteous and unique rulers in history. He was a brilliant economist. One king mastering multiple disciplines. Other kings such as Louis XVI of France praised him a few times. During Aurangzeb's sharia reign Mughal India surpassed Qing China and became the world's largest economy, worth 1/4 of global GDP and waved the Proto-industrialisation (Bengal showed signs of a possible Industrial Revolution, hence preceding England, but the British deindustrialised its economy starting from the Battle of Plassey). 1 Indian rupee was equivalent of £28. Gujarat recovered from a famine due to his policies based from Islamic finance (Fatwa Alamgiri). As a practicing Muslim, Aurangzeb memorised the entire Holy Quran and never took a penny from the Royal treasury for his personal use like the other monarchs (he imprisoned his father due to his corruption with the treasury), he avoided a luxurious life and by profession he was cap sewer despite being born with golden spoon...Aurangzeb was also the first one to defeat the English (Anglo-Mughal War) and took Mount Kailash from the Chinese. He repelled Tai-Ahom attacks from Assam and protected the hindus and drove back the Portuguese inquisition coming to the north. Stories of the demolitions of temples were highly exaggerated, he paid maintenance for the temples and gave good wages to the hindu priests. He was the greatest and most pious Emperor in Indian history.
