The subahdar then informed Amasa that the men were members of the sultan's guards; and, having heard that he had a foreign friend in from the English vessel in the harbor, they had asked for the privilege of seeing the foreigner at close quarters.
No, no, said the subahdar, and went on to explain that as a result of Amasa's adventure the sultan now knew that an officer from the English ships was on shore, and he was not displeased with that officer, because he saw in him an agent for the resumption of friendly intercourse with the English.

This too was matter of displeasure to the Subahdar; and the explanation offered by the English, which intimated that those strangers were audacious enough to bring their hostilities into his dominions, still more inflamed his resentment.
The Presidency were now very eager to appease the Subahdar; they offered to submit to any conditions which he pleased to impose; and, trusting to the success of their humility and prayers, neglected too long the means of defence.
The Subahdar had a wish for a triumph, which he thought might be easily obtained; and he was greedy of riches, with which, in the imagination of the natives, Calcutta was filled.

It would appear that he was nominated, by Shah Aulum, to the viceroyalty of Bengal, shortly after his accession to the throne; but it is probable that, during the short reign of that prince, the appointment never took place; as, at the time of his death, Feroksere was in possession of the province.
Upon the departure, however, of Feroksere to ascend the imperial throne, Jaffier Khan was invested with entire authority, as subahdar of Bengal; and the English Company, along with his other subjects, began speedily to feel the effects of his severe and oppressive administration.
The mandates in favour of the Company produced their full effect in Guzerat and Deccan; but in Bengal, where the most important privileges were conceded, the subahdar, or nabob as he was called by the English, had power to impede their operation.

I cannot compare the society more nearly than to that of some principal East India Company station in a city of Hindostan.
There were the governor of the territory and his family, the judicial, executive, and military functionaries, with their families and dependents; like subahdar, nabobs, begums, and the lesser lights - traders and natives, French, Indian, and half-breed.
But one could not well imagine a pleasanter state of feeling than mutually existed, with sufficient distinction between the different castes or classes to prevent wrangling, and yet sufficient community of interest, prejudice, and pleasure to make everybody sociable.

Since Bengal was perhaps the richest subah of the Mughal Empire, this should not be too surprising: in the early 18th.
centry, even for a decade or two after Aurangazeb's death in 1707, the Mughal Empire was still strong, revenues were collected and writ of the Mughal subahdar still meant something.
It was only the sack of Delhi by Nadir Shah and and the subsequent sacking of Delhi by the Marathas that led to Mughal power being publicly and irrefutably reduced to a cipher by 1839.
