Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c55.s1.3

v4.c55.s1.3

The fourth province was the Upper Doāb, popularly called the Mirāt-Sāharanpur district, where Holkar's agents were obstructing the intrusion of Sindhiā's collectors. The fifth was the Middle Doāb, with its centre at Koil (Aligarh), which, together with certain villages west of the Jamunā and south of Delhi formed the jāgir of De Boigne, yielding a total revenue now increased to 35 lakhs of rupees. Mālwa, though situated north of the Narmadā lay south of the Chambal river, and was therefore not regarded as a part of Hindustan proper. Nor was it included in the geography of the Deccan; but its ancient capital Ujjain was also Sindhiā's official capital.
