NASIR JUNG was the second son of Nizam ul-Mulk, on whose death, in 1748, the son assumed the subahship of the Dekhan. He took part with Muhammad All and the British against Chanda Sahib and the French. After varied fortunes, he dwelt at Arcot in an indolent and voluptuous manner. In 1750, however, he again took the field against the French, but was killed by the Pathan nawab of Cuddapah, and three of the conspirators to his death fell in one day. His death gave great relief to Dupleix, Chanda Sahib, and Pondicherry.--Ornte.
