Question Question 3
Why was the loss of Qandahar a serious blow for the Mughals?
Qandahar was lost to the Persians as Shah of Persia captured it in 1622. This was serious blow for Mughals as Qandahar was important for Indian trade with western Asia. Besides this, it was easier for the Mughals to defend themselves against attacks from Central and Western Asia from Qandahar.
