Question: Was there a gap between the rich and poor in the Mughal Empire!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There is always a gap between rich and poor!.

"The economic positions of peasants and artisans did not improve because the administration failed to produce any lasting change in the existing social structure!. There was no incentive for the revenue officials, whose concerns were primarily personal or familial gain, to generate resources independent of what was received from the Hindu zamindars and village leaders, who, due to self-interest and local dominance, did not hand over the entirety of the tax revenues to the imperial treasury!. In their ever-greater dependence on land revenue, the Mughals unwittingly nurtured forces that eventually led to the break-up of their empire!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
