Explanation

The establishment of Mughal rule significantly transformed India's economic landscape. It ushered in a 'golden age of urbanization' [1], with major cities like Agra and Delhi rivaling European capitals in size. The empire's political integration and centralized administration strengthened inter-urban contact, particularly in riparian North India, where the Ganga served as a vital highway for state formation and economic expansion. Furthermore, the conquest of Gujarat provided crucial access to maritime ports like Surat, facilitating a massive increase in sea trade with West Asia and Europe [1]. This era saw India become a global manufacturing hub, contributing nearly 28% of the world's industrial output. While the Mughals improved infrastructure through roads and sarais to facilitate movement, the risk of long-distance trade remained a challenge due to the reliance on pack animals and the eventual rise of dissident forces along trade routes [3].
