Revolt Against Mughal Rule

The revolt against Mughal rule refers to various uprisings and resistance movements by Indian rulers, nobles, and common people between the 18th and 19th centuries. These were driven by dissatisfaction with Mughal governance, heavy taxation, decline of central authority, and increasing influence of British colonial powers. Key rebellions included regional revolts like the Maratha, Sikh, and Hyderabad uprisings, as well as the famous Indian Rebellion of 1857. Collectively, these movements signaled the weakening of Mughal control and the struggle of different groups to assert local authority or resist foreign domination, ultimately leading to the end of Mughal rule and the rise of British dominance in India.
