A History of the Mahrattas v1.c25.70

v1.c25.70

In regard to the history of that province, it has been already mentioned that Nujeem-ud-Dowlah, Momin Khan, was appointed by an order from the Imperial court to the charge of its government, on the removal of Abhee Sing in 1735. Nizam Ool Moolk was reappointed Soobehdar of Guzerat in 1737, when he returned to Delhi; it proved, however, but an empty honour, as the confusion of the period left nothing but nominal authority to the Emperor in Guzerat. Baroach, which Nizam Ool Moolk had assigned to himself as one of the districts of his personal jagheer, when he superseded Hyder Koolee Khan, was held by an officer named Abdoollah Beg, as Foujdar, under the government of Sur Boolund Khan, but when the latter was superseded by Abhee Sing, Abdoollah Beg placed himself under the authority of Nizam Ool Moolk, from whom he received the title of Nek Alum Khan, and neither acknowledged Abhee Sing nor admitted the pretensions of the Mahrattas.
