Fall of the Mughal Empire v3.c40.s1.2

v3.c40.s1.2

During his reign Mādho Singh had raised three low-born favourites to the highest offices in the State: Khush-hāli Rām Bohrā, a Brahmin who had long been the porter of Ganges water to the king, was made prime minister and justified his elevation by his ability and devotion; Raj Singh Kachhwa, a common trooper who owned no horse of his own but was mounted at the cost of the State (i.e., a Ghor-charā or bārgir, as he is called), was made army chief (Senāni); and a Musalman elephant driver named Firuz was appointed receiver-general of the State revenue. Immediately after Madho Singh’s death, his father-in-law Jaswant came over to Jaipur and began to wield the regency on behalf of his grandson in concert with these three ministers.
