  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 11 months ago

Under Murshid Quli Khan, Bengal broke away from Mughal control. He was appointed as the naib, deputy to the governor of Bengal. Though he was never a subadar, he very quickly seized all the power that went with that office. He also commanded the revenue administration of the state, like the rulers of Awadh and Hyderabad.

He managed to reduce the Mughal influence by

  • Transferring all Mughal jagirdars to Orissa.
  • Ordering a major reassessment of the revenues of Bengal- Revenue was collected from zamindars, in cash with great strictness. This forced the zamindars to borrow money from bankers and moneylenders. Those who were not able to pay were force to sell their lands to bigger zamindars
