In what way did the building of the Taj Mahal contribute to the decline of the Mughal Empire?

History
1 answer:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It Depleted the Mughal empire's wealth.

Explanation:

Taj Mahal was commissioned around 1632. At that time, the approximate cost of building Taj Mahal is around 32 Million Rupees. If that amount is converted to present day value, it cost the Mughal empire around 700 Billion Rupees or approximately 956 million US dollar.

Meanwhile , the annual  earning of the whole empire is only around half of that amount.

This led to various economics problems and force the Mughal empire to cut down their military's budget and make them weaker. Eventually, it led to the decline of the Mughal empire.

What are limitations of Hammurabi's Code as evidence of life in Babylonia
Helen [10]
The Code of Hammurabi can tell us much about ancient Babylonian society, but cannot show us everything.  The law code was written for the audience of Babylonian people in its own day, especially the scribes and officers of the law.  So there are many questions we would have from a distance much later in history that people then would have understood without needing explanation.  The intention of the law code was to inform people of laws and punishments, not to give later generations a full view of the whole of Babylonian life.  The law code was prepared by those in power in the government of Hammurabi -- we don't get any response from the people or indication of how the people then viewed the laws.  And ultimately, the law code is written in a detached, impersonal way -- as legal documents generally are written.  We don't get a feel for the personal lives or feelings of people living at that time in Babylonia.
