A Turani
B Irani
C Hindustani
The court politics of the Mughals was an important reason for their decline - it divided the empire into different pressure groups. The two main factions that arose were:
  1. The Turani or the Central Asian faction;
  2. The Irani or the Persian faction.
These two factions opposed the Afghan and the Hindustani factions within the Mughal court.
