Mughals were beaten in a series of battles. Read how the Marathas under the Peshwa was inching towards Delhi, each time they would win against the Mughals, the Mughals would pay them money to prevent their marching further up north. In North India, the Sikhs and Jats had waged a guerrilla war of resistance which diverted nearly all the revenue of the Northern Subas in quelling these rebellions which otherwise could have been spent on administration. Nadir Shah of Iran also beat the Mughals. After suffering so many military defeats, you think it was doing go stay intact?

I have studied "Medieval India" as an academic discipline in a university that comes in top ten public institutes in the United States....You don't need to tell me your fancy stories. I know much better than you.

What I've stated is true. There was no "one" reason for Mughal fall..just like there was no "one" reason for Roman fall..

Superpowers like Mughals or Rome doesn't fall due to just one factor. Yes---to an unprofessional, amateur mind, this might seem the case..but it is actually not.

Marathas only beat Mughals when Mughals ALREADY had declined...At their peak, say in 16th century against Akbar, marathas were nothing more than a dot on moon. Insignificant.

@Hermoine

lol, you can post all the pictures you want..these temples are insignificant when compared to Mughal Architecture.

Tell me, which temple of these even come close to Taj Mahal and its global outreach? Please..
 
@AUz
Taj is nothing actually. Its so called global outreach is due to its heavy promotion by the Indian govt and also due to Delhi being the capital of India. A foreigner's first introduction to India is generally via Delhi, and Delhi with its islamic architecture is the starting point for them to explore India, which is where Taj Mahal which is not very far away comes in. Also Indian govt has been far shy talking about or promoting anything Hindu least it be seen as a "Hindu" administration. So in fact Hindu architecture remained untalked about. The fact though remains that foreign tourists spend days together in Varanasi, Haridwar, Hampi, and other assorted Hindu/Jain religious places, but apart from a half day tour of Taj Mahal or Juma Masjid, never never stay over or wander the Islamic places.

Taj Mahal and the Middle ages Hindu Indian structures belong to two entirely different schools of architecture. No comparison at all.
 
There are a whole lot of stunning temples and monuments over 2000 years old and intact.
 
Your comparing the Taj which is one of the wonders of the world

To old temples dedicated to idol worship? ??

Google world mosques or something to see real stunning architecture

It is subjective. To you these temples are distasteful/disgusting and probably even an incentive to destroy them and replace them with some other structure. But to us these are more beautiful. Besides Taj architecture is not Islamic at all. For Islamic structures - you can look at the Jama Masjid, Quatul Islam Mosque etc - massive and fascinating structures indeed, but I like the Hampi temples. The ruins of our Martand temple(close to where I live) is also still beautiful. Like I said - it is subjective.
