Invasions of Nadir Shah

INVASION OF NADIR SHAHCause:Nadir Shah wanted to empty Kandahar from the Afglians. Therefore, he asked the Mughal Emperor to close the Mughal frontiers around Kabul so that the Afghan rebels may not seek refuge in Kabul. The Emperor gave a confirming reply to Nadir Shah but did not do any thing practically. At this Nadir Shah sent an ambassador to the Mughal Emperor. The Empercr delayed in meeting him and kept him at Delhi for an entire year. Thns, Nadir Shah became furious with the Mughal Emperor. Also, looking at the weakposition of the Mughal Empire, Nadir Shah wanted to gain the rich treasures of India.Based on the above reasons, Nadi: Shah invaded India and decided to attack from Afghanistan. In May 1738, he attacked Northern Afghanistan. In the same month, he captured Gbhazni, in June, he captured Kabul and in Septemberm, Jalalabad also fell to him. In November, he surrounded the fortress of Peshawar and compietely razed it to the ground. Finally, in January 1739, he captured Lahore, the former capital of the Mughal Empire.Now Nadir Shah himself crowned Muhammad Shah as emperor on 12 May, and Muhammad Shah ceded the area west of river Indus to Nadir Shah. They both switched crowns according to the Persian tradition of friendship and the Kch-i-Noor diamond was lost Then Nadir Shah went back to Fersia. The emperor continued but finally died on 26 April 1748.

Last days of the Mughal Empire:Ahmad Shah and Alamgir II were the next Maghals to ascend the throne. While Ahmad Shah ruled from 1748 to 1754, Alamgir had governed from 1754 to 1759. However, these two emperers were too weak to tackle the already existing problems. The last nail to the coffin of the Empire was the coasecutive assaults of Ahmad Shah Abdali, an Afgan ruler, fom the northwest. He made successful invasicns on 1748, 1749, 1752, 1756, 1757 and 1759. Shah Alam 11 and his successors were only puppets in the hands of theirown nobles or British rulers or the Marathas. In 1803, the Britons captured Delhi and conilict with the existing Mughal emperors continued until 1858, when the last of the Mughal Emperors, Bahadur Shah Zafar was sent to exile in Rangoon.
