Answer 2

Answer:

Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah, the founder of Hyderabad state, was one of the most powerful members at the court of the Mughal Emperor, Farrukh Siyar. He was first entrusted with the governorship of Awadh and later given charge of the Deccan. To strengthen his position, Asaf Jah:

already had full control over political and financial administration.

brought skilled soldiers and administrators from Northern India who welcomed the new opportunities in the South.

appointed mansabdars and granted them jagirs.

ruled quite independently without seeking any direction from Delhi or facing any interference. The Mughal emperor merely confirmed the decisions already taken by the Nizam.

took advantage of the turmoil in the Deccan and the competition amongst the court nobility, and became all powerful.
