Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Mughal Empire began to experience several challenges around the end of the seventeenth century for various reasons. First, Emperor Aurangzeb had exhausted the empire's military and financial resources by waging a protracted conflict in the Deccan. As a result, the imperial administration lost its effectiveness under its successors. Later, Mughal emperors found it challenging to control their strong mansabdars. In many cases, the revenue and military administration offices (diwani and faujdari) were under the supervision of nobles-appointed governors (subadars). As a result, they could now control broad areas of the Mughal Empire with significant political, economic, and military authority. Moreover, the regular revenue remittance to the capital decreased as the governors strengthened their hold over the provinces.
