Expert Answer
The state of Awadh was founded by Burhan-ul-mulk Saadat Khan, who was appointed as its subedar by the Mughal rulers.
- Awadh was a prosperous region under the Mughal rule as it had control of the rich alluvial plains of the Ganga valley and the main trade routed between North India and Bengal passed through it.
- Burhan ul mulk held the offices of subedari (political), diwani (financial) and faujdari (military). This strengthened his position in the Awadh province.
- He reduced the number of office holders or jagirdars appointed by the Mughals in order to further strengthen his control over the state of Awadh. In their place, he appointed his own loyal officers as jagirdars.
- The influence of the bankers and the money lenders increased in the state as the state depended on them for loans. Bankers guaranteed to the state the payment of the contracted amount which was to be collected by the ijaradars as revenue from the land. In turn, the ijaradars were given a free hand in the assessment and collection of the land revenues.
- All these developments created a new class of merchants and bankers who influenced the state revenue system.
