Challenge: With a starting time from 1700 to 1760s, have the Mughal Empire become a powerful again, controlling the North, and competing with the Europeans, Maratha Empire, and the Sikh Empire.
Have auragzeb die in 1700, have his son Muhammad Azam shah win the succession struggle and become emperor. There. The Mughals have half a chanceThe wounds were too deep by then. The Hindu and Sikh Empires and their Sufi and Shia Muslim people would no longer trust the Mughals after a persecution that took place after Shah Jahan died. The European powers easily took hold with this situation. The works of their ancestors was ruined during and after Aurangzeb. With all his foolish decisions and persrcutions,he made the situation get worse and worse. And coinciding this,European powers appeared. It would hence be ASB for this to happen.
I doubt. Aurangzeb was already a person with ill will and intent. By the time he died,the dynasty was already in trouble. But for this to work you need Aurangzebs son to be brought up by somebody good than himself.Have auragzeb die in 1700, have his son Muhammad Azam shah win the succession struggle and become emperor.
