h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm wondering if I can get your source for this bit:

When Aurangzeb died the Moguls were a mere shadow of their former selves. A little before his death Aurangzeb wrote to his son that he had been duped by his advisors, that he had been told that India had all the knowledge and all the riches he would ever need. He wrote further that there was a world beyond the Mogul court and that this world beyond needed to be seen and explored if the Moguls were to prosper. It was a noble thought, but it came too late. Aurangzeb died and anarchy broke loose. None of the new Mogul emperors had time to work outside the court, and this, coupled with the fact of there being many intrigues inside the court, was a formidable problem.

Thanks for your help.

I'll be surprised if you get a response to your enquiry here - this researcher hasn't posted since 2003.
