Causes For The Decline Of Delhi Sultanate

There was no definite law of succession, after the death of each sultan ,the situation gave rise to many civil wars.

The nobles became the king makers & controlled the weak sultans.

Jagir system gave rise to disintegration that weakened the kingdom

The invasion of Timur & Babur was the main cause for the downfall of the Delhi sultanate.
