	Berar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1724 the Nizam-al-Mulk Asif Jah established the independent line of the Nizams of Hyderabad, and thenceforth the latter claimed to be de jure sovereigns of Berar, with exception of certain districts (Mehkar, Umarkhed, etc.) ceded to the Maratha Peshwa in 1760 and 1795.
		This gave a pretext for the intervention of Murtaza Nizam Shah of Ahmednagar, who in 1572 invaded Berar, imprisoned and put to death Tufal Khan, his son Shams-ul-Mulk, and the ex-king Burhan, and annexed Berar to his own dominions.
		In 1860, by a new treaty which modified in the Nizam's favor that of 1853, it was agreed that Berar should be held in trust by the British government for the purposes specified in the treaty of 1853.

		There is a story that one of Nizam's relatives and protégés, the Governor of Balkh, after hearing that Malek Shah's jester Ja'farak, had been active in inventing and circulating satirical and slanderous stories about the vizier, came in a rage to Isfahan in 1082, and tore out the jester's tongue, killing him in the process.
		Nizam was open in his support for the former while Malek Shah tended to support the latter.

	Policies of Nizam al-Mulk (from Islamic world) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Nizam al-Mulk's madrasah system enhanced the prestige and solidarity of the Jama'i-Sunnite 'ulama' without actually drawing them into the bureaucracy or combating anti-Sunnite agitation, but it also undermined their autonomy.

		Nizam al-Mulk explained his plans in his Seyasat-nameh, one of the best known manuals of Islamicate political theory and administration.

	'Abbasid, Buyid, and Seljuq Empires 750-1095 by Sanderson Beck
		Nizam cited the early caliph 'Umar's response to the last Sasanian king Yazdijurd Shahryar to show that the latter's empire was declining, because his court was crowded with complainers; his treasury was full of ill-gotten wealth; and his army was disobedient.
		Nizam was particularly critical of women, and his prejudice even went so far as to assume that one should always do the opposite of what a woman recommends.
		They were responsible for killing Nizam; when Malik-Shah attacked them in retribution, he was assassinated too about a month later.

	Paper: "The Historical Muslim City: Lessons for the Discourse on Islam and Democracy" by Douglas E. Streusand - May 16, 2003 - Center for the Study of Islam & Democracy (CSID)
		Nizam al-Mulk was of course a statesman, not a theologian or jurist; it is perhaps not surprising that he conceived of a synthesis or fusion between Islam and Iranian and Turkic political traditions.
		Because of their enormous importance in the political, institutional, and intellectual development of Islam and Islamic civilization, `Umar ibn al-Khattab, Abu Yusuf, Nizam a-Mulk, and al-Ghazali demonstrate the normative nature of the fusion of between Islam and the Iranian tradition of monarchy.
		The idea of kingship and religion as brothers, that political authority came from God and was accompanied by a set of norms and institutions distinct from the Shari`ah, formed part of the core of Islamic civilization.
