Hizabruddin Zafar Khan was an indian Muslim according to most of the sources. Also, the Sultan Alauddin's brother-in law was Nusrat Khan Jalesari, and as indicated by the nisba he was an Indian muslim from Jalesar, UP.

This is a misconception, because the Mughal emperors after the death of Aurangzeb weren't exactly living comfortable lives. Half the emperors there did not reign for more than 1 year, because they were killed off by rival claimaints to the throne. The 'weakening of the monarchial system' was...
