Right. Besides, in order to tackle this type of lengthy paper, one needs to reduce the length of answer to each question one after other in a way that, if first answer ends in 6 pages, the second one must be limited to 5 pages.

Sorry to late reply, as I was busy in my job due to overload of work.

Q. 1 is simple, as Baber failed in "Central Asia" from Farghana to Kabul, I gave the facts and figures about Farghana, Samarkand defeats and recapturing, then I started its second portion of South and East Asia where Daulat Khan Lodhi, Rana Sanga and Mewati invited Babur to defeat Ibrahim Lodhi on account of political turmoil. Thus, eventually Babar ascended the throne and laid down the first stone of Mughal empire in the 16th century. I also drew a map of Panipat in this question.

Q.2, It is very simple and straight question, during Jahangir era, East India company came to India (Indus Valley) and they set their first factory in merat, and then they did trade and engulfed the whole political and social conditions. Then I mentioned Mughal Emperors' incapable role because they did not introduce any law of ascending throne, lack of Jihad's doctrine, fond of merry making/drinking/luxurious lives and inefficient political policies and bla bla and thet's why British East India company exploited the situation. Thus, Dalhouse, Lord Canning, role of Mir Qasim, Mir Jaffar and ultimately war of Independence incidence took place and East India Company conquered Indus Valley.

I gave outlines, and attempted to the point. Plus, I quoted Lane Poole, Smith and I.H Qureshi's quations.

Q.4 In Aurangzeb's era, he had not good relations with Marhathas, Because Aurangzeb was a Mula type and he was very secular in nature unlike his ancestors and Suri, thus, on account of Deccan policy he annexed Bijnpur in 1685 and also Golganda was conquered. Thus, both states were shia sects states, rich in resources, and also the rulers of both states deceived him because they did not pay any patronage to the King. Therefore, he conquered both states but it became one of the major causes of down fall of Mughal empire. Because, Both states were bulwark against the Marhathas states in Southern areas. Hence, when Aurangzeb annexed these states, the elimination of bulwark took place and not only Shivaji but his successors Marhathas became too strong till the demise of Aurangzeb who gave him tough time. Inspite of spending around 25 years, Aurangzeb could not defeat them. On the other hand, due to absence of King, in Northern India, socioeconomic and political problems commenced and more over, army was too tired and they were fighting without salaries with marhathas which ultimately caused the decline in Mughal Empire. In this sense, the deccan policy became one of the major causes of down fall of Mughal empire. In the end I quoted Smith:"The Deccan proved to be the graveyard not only for Aurangzeb's body but of his empire also".

As far as books are concerned, I have read a lot of books i.e. K.Alis, Indian writers, Bhatti and also followed many links of net. In my first attempt of CSS, I opted it but later on changed in the second attempt, although I had got 77 score in Indopak II and below 50 score in its other part. For upcoming attempt, on account of new journey of CSS-2016, and as per current scoring trend what is expected, I would be going with US History. Though Indopak is a good subject in CCE but not in CSS as per its scoring trend.

Now I am going for CSS-2016 attempt, in which I have opted US History, so please no more questions to discuss on indopak anymore..I will love to discuss US History now.
