Hi
What was the tradition of succession followed by Mughals?

1. The Mughals did not believe in the rule of primogeniture, where the eldest son inherited his father’s estate.
2. Instead they followed the Mughal and Timurid custom of coparcenary inheritance, or a division of the inheritance amongst all the sons.
