Question

State and nawabs and king during mid 18th century

Answer 1

The state of Hyderabad was founded by Nizam-ul-Mulk Asafjah in 1724. He was one of the leading nobles of the post-Aurangzeb era. He played a leading role in the overthrow of the Saiyid brothers and was rewarded with the viceroyalty of the Deccan. From 1720 to 1722 he consolidated his hold over the Deccan by suppressing all opposition to his viceroyalty and organising the administration on efficient lines.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Since the mid-18th century, nawabs and rajas had gradually lost their power and authority; the Company and the British government reduced their freedom,  disbanded their armed forces, and took away their tax revenues and territories.
• The Company also took several measures to formally bring an end to the Mughal dynasty.
