History Of Arcot
The Moghul emperor of India, Aurangzeb, established the nawabdom in Arcot in the south during a period in which the Marathas were beginning to challenge his control of areas of the sub-continent. The emperor made his general, Zulfikar Khan, the first nawab in 1690, midway through his long and successful reign.

The general was also known as Muhamed Ismail and Itikhad Khan. He was the son of a Mughal courtier named Asad Khan and was born in 1657. He accompanied Aurangzeb to the Deccan and was instrumental in the capture of Raigad fort following the death of Maratha king Sambhaji, managing to capture the queen and her son, Prince Shahu, in the process. Then he besieged Jinji fort in Tamil Nadu (the second capital of the new Maratha king, Rajaram, although Rajaram managed to escape. The general was able to establish Mughal control of the south and was made governor of the Deccan-Carnatic region as his reward, being given the title of the nawab.
