Murshid Kuli Khan was the Nawab of Bengal during Muhammad Shah&rsquo;s reign. He played a significant role in consolidating Bengal's economy and administration while maintaining a degree of autonomy from the Mughal central authority, which had weakened under Muhammad Shah.
Ahmad Shah Abdali, founder of the Durrani Empire, began his invasions of India towards the end of Muhammad Shah&rsquo;s reign. His incursions exploited the declining Mughal Empire and marked the beginning of the empire's fragmentation.
Tipu Sultan and Ranjit Singh were born after Muhammad Shah's death and had no contemporaneity or direct relationship with him.
