Answer:
History of Hyderabad and the Carnatic:
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.
From 1722 to 1724 he was the wazir of the empire. But he soon got disgusted with that office as the Emperor Muhammad Shah frustrated all his attempts at reforming the administration. So he decided to go back to the Deccan where he could safely maintain his supremacy. Here he laid the foundations of the Hyderabad State which he ruled with a strong hand.
Answer: Awadh, Bengal, and Hyderabad
Throughout the 18th century, the "Mughal Empire" broke into different "autonomous" "provincial states". The ancient provinces of Mughal had the titles 'Awadh,' "Bengal", and "Hyderabad".
While powerful and totally sovereign, these countries' leaders did not sever the official relations of the "Mughal emperor". States under the ""Mughals" also had "tremendous liberty" as "Watan jagirs". Several "Rajput principalities" were present.
The provinces of the "Mughal emperor' further split into countries dominated by "Sikhs", "Marathas" & others, including the Jats. They all had taken their release from the Mughals after a "long-drawn military battle".
