Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c9.s5.6

v1.c9.s5.6

Qāsim, the only strong Nawāb after Alivardi, clung to his theoretical sovereignty over Orissā. As he wrote to the English in a letter received on 10th March 1761, "It is unjust that the Marāthas should receive the whole revenues of Katak". (*Calendar of Persian Correspondence*, i. No. 1006.) The Nawābs of Bengal, for ten years after the treaty, continued to appoint *faujdārs* at Balesar, though these officers were frequently harassed by the Marāthas.
