_Gehanguir_, on the other hand, had no taste for the sciences, and could not prevail upon himself to tread in the footsteps of his father: both he and _Shah Gehan_ were rather formed for war. These Moguls made an incursion, for the first time, into the kingdom of _Carnate_, or more properly _Carnada_, in 1632 or 1633; and they thence over-ran the southern part of India, into which no foreign conqueror had ever before penetrated. _Shah Gehan_ transferred the seat of government from _Agra_ to _Delhi_. The dominion of the Moguls was still farther extended under the reign of _Aurengzeb_, one of the sons of _Shah Gehan_. This prince conquered, in 1686, the kingdoms of _Velur_, _Visapur_, and _Goloonda_; in 1695, subdued _Carnada_ a second time; and, in 1698, made himself master of the provinces of _Gingi_, _Satara_, and _Panin_. Major Rennel says, that the revenue of this monarch amounted annually to thirty-five millions sterling. He died in 1707, and left four sons, one of whom, _Shah Alem_, assumed the reins of government the same year. The latter had two sons, who reigned till the year 1739. Their successor _Shah Mohamed_ was dethroned by _Thamas Kuli Khan_, who plundered the treasury, levied exorbitant contributions from the people, and carried off an immense booty. _Thamas Kuli Khan_, or _Nadir Shah_, was followed in 1748 by _Achmet Shah_, a son of _Mohamed Shah_. After this the throne of Delhi was possessed from 1756 to 1760 by _Azizeddoulah_ or _Alemguirsani_, king of the Patans. Under the government of this prince almost all the nabobs refused obedience to his lawful commands. The districts over which they presided as viceroys being of considerable extent, and at a great distance from Delhi, it was therefore much easier for them to render themselves totally independent. His son was deprived of the throne by his own prime minister; and bloody feuds ensued, which continued, without interruption, till the year 1773. As it was far more advantageous, in every case, to have to contend with several weak and petty princes, than so formidable and powerful a monarch, the English, during this state of warfare, considered it as of great importance to support the rebellious nabobs against their supreme lord, in order that they might establish themselves more firmly in the possession of their colonies, and at the same time have allies in case of need. After this period the power of the Great Mogul sunk into nothing. The policy by which the English, as well as the _Subadars_, or Mogul governors, effected this change, may be found circumstantially described in Pallebot de St. Lubin’s Historical Memoirs, under the head Revolutions of Bengal. The _Seiks_, whom I consider as a people originally Christians, but who again adopted the Pagan religion, taking up arms, now entered in a hostile manner into _Lahor_, _Multan_, _Delhi_, and other possessions of the Great Mogul; while the English, in another quarter, combining their own
