Murshid Quli Khan was the de facto Nawab of Bengal. He was probably born in 1665.
Murshid Quli Khan, who hailed from Burhanpur, was by birth a Brahmin. During his early years he was sold by an anonymous merchant of Isfahan to Haji Shafi Isfahani. Possibly around this time he was converted to Islam and his master named him Muhammad Hadi. Later on, Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb gave him the title of “Murshid Quli Khan”.
Together, Murshid Quli Khan and his master had spent some time in Persia before returning to India. After his master’s death, Murshid Quli Khan worked in the revenue department in Berar and, soon, through proficiency in this field, earned the recognition of Aurangzeb.
In 1698 he was made the Diwan of Hyderabad. And success there raised him to the posts of Faujdar of Murshidabad and the Diwan of Bengal in 1700.
He earned his reputation by thwarting the attempt of Azim-ush-Shan, the subahdar of the province, to appropriate the revenue of Bengal for his personal gain.
In the Mughal provinces, it may be noted, the post of subahdar or nazim and the diwan was never amalgamated in one person. Abuse of power was checked by the Emperor by keeping the men divided, each post serving as a check on the other. The nazim was responsible for the maintenance of law and order, the command of the armed forces and the administration of criminal justice; while the diwan was responsible for finance and taxation and administration of civil justice.
