Detailed explanation-1: -Notes: He was defeated in the battle at Agra on 10 January 1713 by Farrukhsiyar, his nephew and the second son of Azim-ush-Shan, with the support of the Sayyid Brothers. He fled to Delhi where he was captured and handed over to the new Emperor, who confined him along with Lal Kunwar.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jahandar Shah-Early Life In 1671, his grandfather, Aurangzeb, named Jahandar Shah as Vizier of Balkh. When their grandpa died on February 27, 1712, he and his brother, Azim-ush-Shan, crowned themselves emperors and fought for control of the throne.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the death of Muḥammad Shah in 1748, the Marathas overran almost all of northern India. Mughal rule was reduced to only a small area around Delhi. The British took control of this area in 1803. By the mid-1800s the Mughal Empire had lost all of its territory to its rivals and to the British.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mughal empire declined due to many reasons. Aurangzeb’s long war in the Deccan strained the military and the financial resources of the empire. Also, the efficiency of the Mughal administration decreased. The later Mughal emperors could not control their powerful mansabdars.
