Question

explain the revenue system of awadh region​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Nizamul-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah, the founder of the Hyderabad State, was a powerful courtier in the court of the Mughal Emperor Farrukh Siyar.

He was first entrusted with the province of Awadh and later given the charge of Deccan. But he soon took over all the financial and political administration of Deccan and became its independent ruler.

He brought skilled soldiers and administrators from the north, made them mansabdars, and gave them jagirs.

Under his rule, the Mughal emperor in Delhi was a nominal head who only gave confirmations to the decisions made by the Nizam.

Hyderabad State was in constant struggle with the Marathas in the west and the nayakas (Telegu warrior chiefs). And the Nizam's ambition to control the rich textile-producing areas on the Coromandel coast were destroyed by the British who were growing in power.
