Question
In the following question, two statements are given —
one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Examine these two statements carefully and select the correct option given below: Assertion (A): Shah Alam II spent his early years of reign away from his capital. Reason (R): There was a constant threat of foreign invasion on the north-western frontier.Solution
After the assassination of Alamgir II by Imad-ul-Mulk, Ali Gohar ascended the Mughal throne under the title of Shah Alam II. However, the Mughal Empire had become so weak that he had to survive with the support of local rulers for about 12 years after 1760 AD, and could only enter Delhi in 1772 AD with the assistance of the Marathas. During this time, Shah Alam II remained away from Delhi because the city was under the control of local powers like Najib-ud-Daula and his successors. Furthermore, although there was indeed a continuous threat of foreign invasions on the north-western frontier — from forces like Ahmad Shah Abdali — this was not the primary reason for Shah Alam II staying away from his capital. Thus, both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion.
