    Awadh

    Answer:

    Awadh roughly occupied the area of modern day Uttar Pradesh. It was an important province because of its strategic location which was an advantage for trade and commerce. Also, agriculture flourished there because of fertile soil. In 1722, Saadat Khan was appointed the governor of Awadh by the Mughal emperor. As the power of the emperor declined, he established his own dynasty. He was succeeded by Safdarjung, his son-in-law. He faced many problems - the corrupt policy of the Delhi court, lawlessness and the army. He dealt with all the problems and established peace in the province. He was also very generous and helped the needy.
