CARNATIC, AZIM-UD-DAULA, NAWAB OF THE (1775–1819)

Son of Amir-ul-umra: nephew of Umdat-ul-umra (q.v.), and grandson of Muhammad Ali (q.v.): born 1775: on the death of his uncle, Azim-ud-daula, accepted the British terms, which Ali Husain, the reputed son of Umdat, had refused, and was given the succession. An engagement was made with him on July 31, 1801, by which he gave up the government of the Carnatic to the E.I. Co., and allowances were assigned for his personal expenses and for his family: he lived quietly, and died Aug. 3, 1819.
