Life

Early life

After the death of Najimuddin Ali Khan, his younger brother Najabat Ali Khan, better known as Saif ud-Daulah, succeeded him and was placed on the Masnad (throne) at the age of 17. The management developed upon his mother, Munny Begum. On May 19, 1766 a treaty was concluded in which the East India Company was to pay him the reduced stipend of ₹41,86,131 and 9 Anas (₹1=12 Anas), namely ₹17,78,854 and 1 Ana for the Nawab's household and ₹ 24,07,277 and 8 Anas for the support of the Nizamat.

Later years

Saif ud-Daulah was formally installed on the Khahar Balish, at Murshidabad Fort on May 22, 1766 which was confirmed by Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II on June 27, 1766. However real authority passed into the chamber of the Directors in London who considered that the Nawab and the Government's dignity still resided in the Nawab and his ministers.

Death and succession

In 1770, during Bengal famine of 1770, a great epidemic of small pox raged in Murshidabad and killing 63,000 of its inhabitants, one of them being Nawab Nazim Saif ud-Daulah, himself. He died on March 10, 1770. His mortal remains lie in the Jafarganj Cemetery in Murshidabad.

He was succeeded by his half-brother, Nawab Nazim Ashraf Ali Khan as the next Nawab.

gollark: > 1) same on youtube for the same qualityIt can pick a quality depending on connection quality and such. You can also do this but it's hard.> 2) you are overly optimistic about the bloat of modern websites. I just loaded a random ad-loaded heavy website and the two biggest scripts along are already 1 MBOh dear.
gollark: Which they pay for traffic on, yes.
gollark: That's a few pence on certain mobile network plans, equivalent to about four books, and basically the maximum size of accursed JS in the wild.
gollark: 8 seconds of video at reasonable bitrate is about 1MB.
