The great mughal empire, the envy of its contemporaries for almost two centuries, declined and disintegrated during the first half of the eighteen centuary. The mughal emperors lost their power and glory and their empire shrank to a few square miles around Delhi. In the end, in 1803, Delhi itself was occupied by the British army and the proud mughal emperor was reduced to the status of a mere pensioner of a foreign power. A study of process of decline of the great empire is most instructive.
