Is this Shaista Khan the same as maternal uncle of Aurangzeb who was sent to fight against Shivaji in Deccan ? --N2271 20:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article was created as a derivative work of [1]. Compare the following text from the article:

After his accession to the throne, emperor Aurangzeb granted him a higher rank and conferred on him the prestigious title of Amir-ul-Umara (chief of the nobles) in recognition of his support in the campaign against Aurangzeb's brother and rival Dara Shikoh. Shaista Khan was appointed subahdar of Bengal after the death of Mir Jumla in 1663 CE.

To that source:

After his accession to the throne aurangzeb granted him a higher rank and conferred on him the prestigious title of Amir-ul-Umara (chief of the nobles) in recognition of his services during the War of Succession. Shaista Khan was appointed subahdar of Bengal after the death of mir jumla in 1663.

I'm unsure at this point how many other close passages there may be, although it seems that a good portion of the article may be amply rewritten, but this passage and any others like it need to be addressed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
