Answer 1

"In the 1700s, the Mughals were Muslim rulers who allowed the East India Company to establish trading posts."

Brief explanation: The Mughal Empire was a Muslim dynasty. By the 1700s its central power was weakening, and European companies (especially the British East India Company) were able to set up and expand trading posts and influence, eventually leading to British takeover.
