In which of the following years did Nadir Shah invade India and sack Delhi?
1739
The correct answer is 1739.
The invasion exposed the military and administrative weaknesses of the Mughal Empire under Emperor Muhammad Shah 'Rangila'. The wealth plundered by Nadir Shah significantly depleted the Mughal treasury. Following the invasion, the Mughal Empire's authority shrank considerably, with various regional powers asserting independence. The Peacock Throne taken by Nadir Shah became a symbol of Persian imperial power.
