Solution

After being the actual ruler of the Deccan, Asaf Jah began to adopt some policies in order to strengthen his position:
  • He brought skilled soldiers and administrators from northern India who welcomed the new opportunities in the south.
  • He appointed mansabdars and granted jagirs.
  • He ruled independently without Mughal interference. The Mughal emperor merely confirmed the decisions already taken by Asaf Jah.
