1.	Explain the economic condition during the Mughal period.
Answer» Economic condition during the Mughal period: The economic condition during the Mughal period is well described in Abul Fazal’s book. At that time ‘Ratal’ was the unit to weigh things. 1 Ratal was equal to one score. (Today, 1 score = 20 kg) Villages were self-reliant and so villagers produced almost all the necessities they required. Shawls of Lahore, dhurries (mats) of Fatehpur Sikri, cotton clothes of Gujarat and muslin cloth of Dhaka were famous worldwide. Goods were imported and exported from the ports of Khambhat, Surat, Bharuch, Malabar and Bengal.
