Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Mughal Empire was established by Babur in the 16th century. The Mughal empire dominated the Indian territories till the early 18th century. But during the 18th century, the empire began to decline. The death of Aurangzeb, who was the last powerful ruler of the Mughals, was a big blow to the Mughal empire. He was succeeded by weak successors who could not establish their hegemony over the vast empire. Many successor states began to emerge during the 18th century. These were mainly established by powerful nobles and zamindars of the Mughals. The final blow was presented by the arrival of the British in India.
The correct statement should be that in the eighteenth century, the Mughal empire began to crumble.
