Nizam Ali then seized theBidar Fort and later arrested Salabat Jung, this action of Nizam Ali Khan was ratified by theMughal EmperorShah Alam II, who issued aFirman terminatingSalabat Jung (supported by theFrench East India Company), from his position as theSubedar ofDeccan and appointing Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II as his successor.[3]

In 1757, the Nizam (Salabat Jung) was defeated bySadashivraobhau in theBattle of Sindhkhed and again at theBattle of Udgir in 1760. In 1762,Raghunathrao allied with the Nizam due to mutual distrust and differences withMadhavrao Peshwa. The Nizam marched towardsPoona, but little did he know that Rughunathrao was going to betray him. In 1763,Madhavrao I along with Rughunathrao defeated Nizam atBattle of Rakshasbhuvan and signed a treaty with theMarathas.[citation needed]

In 1795, he was defeated byMadhavrao II'sMarathas at theBattle of Kharda and was forced to cedeDaulatabad,Aurangabad andSholapur and pay an indemnity of Rs. 30 million.[4]

AFrench general,Monsieur Raymond, served as his military leader, strategist and advisor.[5]
