This man was the nephew of the last nawab of the Carnatic, Dost Ali.

Dost Ali had been killed in a battle with them, in 1739; and they afterwards captured Trichinopoli, and took Chunda Sahib, who commanded there, prisoner; and had since kept him at Satarah.

Had he been at liberty he would, no doubt, have succeeded his uncle, whose only son had been murdered; but as he was at Satarah, the Subadar of the Deccan bestowed the government of the Carnatic upon Anwarud-din.
"Chunda Sahib and Muzaffar Jung put their heads together, and agreed to act in concert.

Muzaffar, of course, desired the subadarship of the Deccan, to which he had been appointed by the court of Delhi.

Chunda Sahib wanted the nawabship of the Carnatic, and advised his ally to abandon his intention of asking for Mahratta aid, and to ally himself with the French.
