Mughal invaders indeed plundered and destroyed the country. Any sort of Bollywood whataboutery cannot change this absolute fact.
India's share of world GDP before Mughal invaders came: 32.54%
India's share of world GDP by the end of Mughal age(1820 CE): 16%
Enough said.
Taxation in Mughal India was oppressively higher and more than three times the traditional taxation of a Hindu state. While Shahjahan was squandering money on majestic personal graves, people of the country had to subsist on dog meat
Not true.Industrialization happened in Europe in 18th century because technology was sponsored by their states in 17th century and 18th century. Mughals were only interested in hoarding jewelry, Jihadi wars, forced conversions, lavish graves, slavery
A ruler of a tiny kingdom and a vassal of Mughal state, Sawai Jai Singh sponsored technology and built astronomical observatories all over India and promoted learning, all in the midst of political turmoil and foreign invasions.
Any such contribution in technology by Mughals?
