Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c8.s3.4

v1.c8.s3.4

∗ The governor (*hākim*) of the port, acc. to *Siyar*, ii. 122, was Md. Yar Kh. reputed brother of Alivardi, popularly called Mirza Piaré (as we find from Pondicherry letter of 4th April, 1743 N. S.) Chandarnagar factors sent Rs. 4,000 to ransom him from the Marathas. *Riyaz* 344 calls Md. Raza *naib faujdar*. Salimullah 119b wrongly writes that Hughli was then under "Md. Raza and Mirza Piaré the *faujdar*." Maharashtra Puran wrongly speaks of Sher Kh. as *faujdar* of Hughli.
