Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The last powerful Mughal ruler was Aurangzeb. His empire was vast as he took over many territories of India. He died in 1707, and after his death, Mughal governors and zamindars took control over many areas and set up regional kingdoms. As these provincial kingdoms emerged in several parts of the kingdom, Delhi became an ineffective centre and could no longer function politically. The British quickly emerged as a powerful company in India and established their control over territories during that time. Though they came only as a trading company, they acquired the whole of India under their control. Hence, after the Mughal empire weakened, Delhi could no longer function as an influential centre.
