520			_aThe Crisis of Empire in Mughal North India: Awadh and the Punjab, 1707–1748 by Muzaffar Alam examines the transformation of Mughal political authority following Aurangzeb’s death. Focusing on Awadh and the Punjab, the book explores imperial decline, agrarian uprisings, the jagirdari system, the role of zamindars and Sikhs, and the changing relationship between the imperial centre and regional provinces. It argues that the weakening of Mughal rule led to the emergence of new regional political orders, offering a nuanced interpretation of eighteenth-century Indian history.
