Nawab (English spelling)
The term is a corruption of the Arabic nā'ib (deputy), plural nuwwāb, and was used to mean a local governor (governor) in Islamic dynasties in India. It was particularly used in the Mughal Empire, but when the central Mughal power weakened in the 18th century, the Nawabs of each region gained independent political power. Among them, the Nawabs of Bengal and Awadh are the most famous.
