Who were the Later Mughals? Explain the condition of the Mughal Empire under them.

The Nine Mughal Rulers who followed after the death of Aurangzeb in 1707, were known as Later Mughals.

The Mughal Empire began to decline towards the beginning of the 18th century because the Later Mughals were weak and not efficient. In the 50 years after the death of Aurangzeb in 1707, nine Mughal rulers followed one another in quick succession. The situation became worse due to their lax morals and internal rivalries. Mughals provided an opportunity to the other rulers to assert themselves. As the central authority grew weak, many rulers carved out independent States for themselves.
