What has babur described in tuzuk-i-baburi?
The Tuzuk-i-Baburi is a faithful description of the world the author had lived in, and of the people he had come into contact. According to modern scholars, no other eastern prince has written such vivid, interesting and veracious account of his own life as Babur. He writes about his own success and failure or about his shortcomings with candour, which greatly impresses the reader. His style of writing is not pompous or ornate like many Persian writers, rather it is simple and clear, there being no hypocrisy. With great regard for truth, Babur recorded historical events exactly as they had occurred.

Was the arrival of the British the main reason for the decline of the Mughal Empire?
There are many reasons for the decline of Mughal Empire. The decline was gradual & although some historians blame aurangzeb for sousing seeds for decline, the empire continued for another 150 years after his death, perhaps the real answer to the question is that a number of factors continued to bring about the fall of asian's most famous dynesties.
these causes were:
1-Poor administration
2-Untrained army
3-Luxurious life of rulers
4-Weak control
5-Absence of Naval forces
6-Lack of new inventions
But the main reason was the arrival of the British.Because when the British came,they took control of all the things slowly slowly. Firstly they took permission for (EIC)East India Company.Queen Elizabeth also gave the permission for the company. They first arrived at first at Surat in 1608. But they got permission for trading in 1612 by governor of Gujrat Shah Jahan. they established their head quator at Colcutta in 1696.
so the arrival of British was the main cause for the decline of Mughal Empire.
