Twilight of the Sultanate c11.s3.6

c11.s3.6

Now the Sultan, who wanted to reward Kamāluddīn, added the work of financial administration (Kār-i-Ashrāf)⁵⁵ to his portfolio of Deputy Military Secretary (Nāib-i-Lashkar),⁵⁶ although the formality of depriving Sarwarul Mulk of the post of Dīvān was not observed. It was in fact not only to reward Kamālul Mulk that Mubārak Shāh had effected the change, but also to reduce the power of the Vazīr. Khizr Khan had employed his Vazīr, Tājul Mulk, largely on military duties and so had Mubārak Shāh employed his Vazīrs, Sikandar Tuhfā and Sarwarul Mulk.
