Lesson : 4 - India in the Eighteenth Century
Part – 1 (Summary)
The Mughal Empire flourished under the Great Mughals, the first of whom was Babur
and the last, Auranzeb. After Aurangzeb’s death in 1707, the empire declined rapidly and
the Mughals lost control over many of their provinces.
Causes of the decline of the Mughal Empire: Several causes both within the empire and
outside it, led to the decline of the Mughal Empire.
Aurangzeb’s Unwise Policies :
Aurangzeb reversed Akbar’s policies of diplomacy and religious tolerance. He
reimposed the jiziya and permitted the destruction of temples. His revenue
collectors oppressed the peasants. These factors led to revolts such as those of the
Jats, the Bundelas, the Satnamis and the Sikhs, which greatly weakened the
empire.
Aurangzeb also lost the loyalty of the Rajputs after interfering in their internal
matters. Aurangzeb’s unwise policies led to revolts, affected Mughal
administration and allowed the nobles to become powerful. During his long
absence from North India, Aurangzeb became involved in the affairs of the
Deccan and neglected the administration of his empire. This allowed the
ambitious nobles to become powerful.
Role of the Nobles :
After Aurangzeb’s death, the three main groups of nobles – the Turanis of
Afganistan, the Iranis of Persia and the Hindustanis of India assumed the role of
kingmakers.
They hatched conspiracies to depose kings and raise rival candidates to the throne.
The frequent change of rulers caused political instability. This allowed provinces
to break away and also attracted foreign invasions.
Role of Later Mughals :
Aurangzeb Successors, called the Later Mughals, ruled for 150 years (1707-1857).
Important among them were Bahadur Shah I, Lahandar Shah, Farrukhsiyar and
Muhammad Shah.
The Later Mughals were not as capable as the Great Mughals, and the intrigues of
their nobles made it all the more difficult to rule efficiently. Under them the
Mughal Empire broke up and Mughal rule ultimately ended in 1857.
MUHAMMAD SHAH
Breaking up of the Empire : During Muhammad Shah’s reign, some ambitious
nobles established states that were virtually free from Mughal control. States like
Bengal under Murshid Quli Khan, Awadh under Saadat Khan, Hyderabad under
Chin Quilich Khan better known as the Nizam-ul- Mulk and Jaipur under Sawai
Raja Jai Singh rose to prominence during the rule of Aurangzeb’s successors – the
Later Mughals.
Bengal : Murshid Quli Khan, who had been made
the Governor of Bengal in 1717,became almost
independent. He and his successors reorganized
the administration of Bengal, and promoted agriculture
and trade.
MURSHID QULI KHAN
Awadh : The state of Awadh became more or less independent under Saadat Khan
and his successors introduced many administrative reforms, raised a strong army
and improved the economic condition of Awadh. The ‘Lucknowi culture’
developed under them and Lucknow became a centre of art and literature.
Hyderabad : In 1724, Chin Quilich Khan, better known as the Nizam-ul- Mulk,
forced Muhammad Shah to give him the tiltle Asaf Jah and recognize him as the
governor of the Deccan. Thereafter, he became virtually an independent ruler and
established the state of Hyderabad. He crushed the rebellious chiefs, and the state
of Hyderabad progressed under his administration.
Jaipur : The Rajput state of Amber(later Jaipur) rose to prominence under Sawai
Raja Jai Singh. Jai Singh founded the city of Jaipur and made it a centre of art and
scientific learning. He was deeply interested in astronomy and built observatories
at Delhi, Jaipur, Ujjain, Varanasi and Mathura.
The Jantar Mantar , Jaipur – one of the observatories built by Sawai Raja Jai Singh
Bharatpur and Rohilkhand : The Jats of the regions around Delhi, Agra and
Mathura established the state of Bharatpur while the Rohilla Afghans formed the
state of Rohilkhand. Afghans formed the state of Rohilkhand covering territories
of Moradabad, Bijnore and Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh.
Foreign Invasions :
India’s political instability attracted invasions. Taking advantage of the unstable
political situation in India, the Persian ruler Nadir Shah invaded India. He defeated
the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah at Karnal in 1739.
Muhammad Shah was restored to his throne only after he ceded all the Territories
west of the Indus. Afganistan thus went permanently out of the control of the
Mughals.
Nadir Shah carried away enormous wealth including the Kohinoor diamond and
Shah Jahan’s jewel-studded Peacock Throne.
Nadir Shah’s invasion exposed the weakness of the Mughals. After this
invasion,the Marathas expanded northwards and threatened Mughal authority.
Between 1748 and 1761, the Afghan ruler Ahmad Shah Abdali invaded India
several times.
In 1761, Ahmad Shah Abdali inflicted a crushing defeat on the Marathas in the
Third Battle of Panipat. This destroyed the possibility of the Marathas as the
supreme power in India. This event also cleared the way for the British to emerge
as a political force in India.

Class 8 Maths Worksheet-5
(SQUARES AND SQUARE ROOTS)
PROPERTIES OF SQUARE NUMBERS
1. A square number always ends with 0, 1,4,5,6 or 9 at unit’s place but converse is
not true.
Note that a number having 2,3,7 or 8 at its unit place is never a square number.
2. A number ending in an odd number of zeros is never a perfect square.
e.g The numbers 50, 2000, 400000 are not perfect squares.
3. Squares of even natural numbers are even and squares of odd natural numbers are
odd.
4. There are some important points to remember:
(i) If a number has 1 or 9 in the unit’s place, then its square ends in 1.
(ii) If a number has 4 or 6 in the unit’s place, then its square ends in 6.
(iii) If a number has 2 or 8 in the unit’s place, then its square ends in 4.
(iv) If a number has 3 or 7 in the unit’s place, then its square ends in 9.
(v) If a number has 5 in the unit’s place, then its square ends in 5.
(vi) If a number has 0 in the unit’s place, then its square ends in 0.
SOME MORE PROPERTIES TO REMEMBER
PROPERTY 1: Observe the following:
1 = 1 = 12
1 + 3 = 4 =22
1 + 3 + 5 = 9 =32
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 =16 = 42
1+ 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 25 = 52
*Note that the sum of first n odd natural numbers is n2
PROPERTY 2: If a natural number cannot be expressed as a sum of successive
odd natural numbers starting with 1, then it is not a perfect square
Example 1: Find whether each of the following numbers is a perfect square or not?
(i) 81 (ii) 59
Solution: Successively subtract 1,3,5,7………from the given numbers and observe :
(i) 81 – 1 = 80 ; 80 – 3 = 77; 77 – 5 = 72; 72 – 7 = 65;
65 – 9 = 56; 56 – 11 = 45; 45 – 13 = 32; 32 – 15= 17;
17 – 17 = 0
Thus, 81 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17
Since 81 can be expressed as the sum of consecutive odd natural numbers
starting with 1. Therefore, 81 is a perfect square.
(ii) 59 – 1 = 58 ; 58 – 3 = 55; 55 – 5 = 50; 50 – 7 = 43;
43 – 9 = 34; 34 – 11 = 23; 23– 13 = 10; 10 – 15= -5;
Since 59 cannot be expressed as the sum of consecutive odd natural
numbers starting with 1. Therefore, 59 is not a perfect square.
PROPERTY 3: Observe the following:
32 = 9 = 4 + 5 {
2
134
2
and
2
135
2
}
52 = 25 = 12 + 13
72= 49 = 24 + 25
92=81 = 40 + 41
Thus, we can see that the square of any odd natural number greater than 1 can be
expressed as the sum of two consecutive natural numbers.
Example 2: Express the following as the sum of two consecutive integers:
(i)212 (ii)29
2
Solution: (i) Given number is 212 = 441
So, the first number is 2
1212 =
2
1441 =
2
440= 220 and
the second number is 2
1212 =
2
1441 =
2
442= 221
Therefore, 212 = 220 + 221
(ii) Given number is 292 = 841
So, the first number is 2
1292 =
2
1841 =
2
840= 420 and
the second number is 2
1292 =
2
1841 =
2
842= 421
Therefore, 292 = 420 + 421
PROPERTY 4: To find the Square of a number with unit digit 5
Observe the following: 252 = 625 = (2 ×3) hundreds + 25 and
452 = 2025 = (4×5) hundreds + 25 Thus, we can see that (a5)
2 = a(a + 1)hundreds + 25
Example 3: Find the square of 75
Solution: Compare the given number with the formula (a5)2 = a (a + 1) hundreds + 25
Therefore, (75)2 = (7 × 8) hundreds + 25 = 56 × 100 + 25 = 5600 + 25 = 5625
Example 4: Find the square of the number 53 without actual multiplication.
Solution: 532 = (50 + 3)
2 = (50 + 3) (50 + 3)
= 50(50 + 3) + 3(50 + 3)
= 502 + 50 ×3 + 3×50 + 3
2
= 2500 + 150 + 150 + 9 = 2809
SOME PRACTICE QUESTIONS
1.What will be the unit’s digit of the squares of the following numbers?
(i) 951 (ii) 329 (iii) 5124 (iv)1089 (v) 68327 (vi) 3795
2. The square of which of the following numbers would be an odd number or an even
number? Why? (i) 573 (ii) 4096 (iii) 8267 (iv)1369
