| Description |
Some intellectuals and scholars in International Relations (IR) and the History in their writings about the rise and fall of great powers in the international system, generally exclude Asiatic powers, like the Ottoman Empire in West Asia and Eastern Europe, Safavid Empire in Persia, Mughal Empire in India and Ming Empire in China from the status of great power. Their main arguments are that these Empires were very traditional in political and cultural attitudes and orthodox towards initiatives, military and economic reforms, did not show much prospective in strategic culture, and increasingly suffered from the defects of being despotic and centralized form of government. Therefore, they hardly contribute in the development of international system. Another group of scholars believes that such arguments express their Western-centric approach and these intellectuals view that by any absolute measure of great power attributes, the Ottoman Turkey, Ming China, Mughal India and Safavid Persia were great powers for all or most of the period 1500 -1750 AD. However, the aim of this paper is to explore such dichotomy and to find out the answers to the two underlined questions that are still been unsettled – were the Ottoman Turkey and Mughal India great powers? If so, why did they fail to maintain their status in the 19th and 20th centuries?
