The ''' Battle of Shakoor Kheda''' took place on 11 October 1724 at [[Shakar Kheda|Shakoor Kheda]] (Shakar Khela or Sankar Kedla) in [[Berar Subah|Berar]], 80 miles from [[Aurangabad, Maharashtra|Aurangabad]] between [[Qamar-ud-din Khan, Asaf Jah I|Nizam-ul-Mulk]] and [[Mubariz Khan]], [[Subedar]] of Deccan.<br />
<br />
==Prelude==<br />
In 1714, Mughal emperor [[Farrukhsiyar]] appointed [[Nizam-ul-Mulk, Asaf Jah I|Nizam-ul-Mulk]] (also known as Nizam, Nizam I, and Asaf Jah I) as [[Viceroy of the Deccan]]. Deccan consisted of six Mughal governorates ([[Subah]]): [[Khandesh]], [[Bijapur]], [[Vidarbha|Berar]], [[Aurangabad]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Bidar]], and [[Carnatic region]] was sub-Subah administered partly by governor of Bijapur and Hyderabad. In 1721, Nizam was commissioned to [[Delhi]] and became Prime Minister of the [[Mughal Empire]]. His differences with the court nobles led him to resign from all the imperial responsibilities in 1723 and leave for Deccan.<ref name="Mehta">{{cite book|title=Advanced Study in the History of Modern India: 1707–1813|last=Mehta|first=Jaswant Lal|year=2005|publisher=[[Sterling Publishing]]|isbn=978-1-932705-54-6}}</ref>{{rp|143}}<ref name="Roy">{{cite book|title=Holy Ignorance: When Religion and Culture Part Ways|last=Roy|first=Olivier|year=2011|publisher=[[Columbia University Press]]|isbn=978-0-231-80042-6}}</ref>{{rp|95}}<br />
<br />
Under the influence of Nizam's opponents, Mughal Emperor [[Muhammad Shah]] issued a decree to [[Mubariz Khan]], the governor of Hyderabad, to prevent the Nizam from taking the Deccan province under his control. Nizam and Mubariz Khan confronted each other at Shaker Kheda (a valley in present-day [[Buldhana district]], [[Berar Subah]], {{convert|80|km|mi}} from [[Aurangabad]]), resulting in the Battle of Shakar Kheda.<ref name="Mehta"/>{{rp|93{{hyphen}}94}}<br />
<br />
== Events ==<br />
Mubariz Khan marched from [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] against Nizam-ul-Mulk who was ready to meet the challenge. Both fought for some time and at last at Shakar Kheda. In this decisive battle against great odds, [[Nizam-ul-Mulk, Asaf Jah I]] defeated and killed Mubariz Khan. After the victory of Nizam, officers and soldiers who took part in the battle were rewarded with cash and titles.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}}<br />
<br />
== Aftermath ==<br />
In the next year, Emperor [[Muhammad Shah Rangeela]] conferred the title of '''Asaf Jah''' to Nizam-ul-Mulk and reappointed him as Subedar of the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] province on 25 June 1725.<br />
