Answer:
The two Sayyid brothers were Abdulla Khan and Hussain Ali Khan. The exertions of these two brothers won Farrukh Siyar his empire. After Farrukh Siyar, the Sayyid Brothers placed Rafi-Ud-Darajat, the son of Rafi-ush-Shan to the throne on 28th February, 1719.
The Sayyid brothers absolutely controlled the activities of Rafi-Ud-Darajat. The Sayyid brothers carried on the administration in his name. After Rafi-ud-Darajat, Sayyid brothers placed Rafi-ud-daulah, brother of Rafi-Ud-Darajat, to the throne. Rafi-ud-daulah is also known as Shah Jahan II.
The Sayyids at last in 1719 set up Muhammad Shah as the Emperor.
As they were not the kings but they are the one who decided that who ll became Next king, that is the reason they are known as king makers
