Nāsir Jang was content to return, for his sister’s son Muzaffar Jang, who enjoyed the support of the French, had taken advantage of his departure to rise in rebellion and at the instigation of Husain Dost Khān the Navāit, known as Chanda Sāhib, and with the help of a force of French troops supplied by M. Dupleix, had invaded the lower Carnatic. Nāsir Jang’s campaign in the Carnatic and his murder in December, 1750, have been described elsewhere.² A few months later Muzaffar Jang, who was proclaimed by the French viceroy of the Deccan, shared the same fate, and Bussy recognised as his successor Salābat Jang, the third son of Nizām-ul-Mulk.
