How did Burhan-ul-Mulk reduce Mughal influence in the Awadh region?
✓
Answer
Burhan-ul-Mulk tried to reduce Mughal influence in the Awadh region by taking following steps:
He first of all reduced the number of office holders (jagirdars) appointed by the Mughals.
He also reduced the size of jagirs, and appointed his own loyal servants to vacant positions.
The accounts of jagirdarswere checked to prevent cheating and the revenues of all districts were re-assessed by officials appointed by the Nawab's court.
