Towards a less and less power nobles.
Meanwhile, Nasr and his backers, continuing to work to increase the royal power status.

Peace was signed when Jamal, transported by ships, had landed a few miles east of Cuttack, defense aids Pegu. More in the territory of Bangladesh, he was told that his division would be dissolved soon returned home. The news was not well received by his men, for most Dalits as untouchables and pulayar without a family who had tried their luck in the army and feared not to be placed in reserve. To this was added the announcement that it had no command substitution after the leave of the division.
Pending the fleet, was approached by Prince Tchin Jamal, commander of the garrison at Cuttack. Buddhist, he and his army had no sympathy in the Arakan or Bengal, the political action taken against the Buddhists in their homeland. Jamal proposed a deal: during the war had met several noble dissidents and were ready to rebel, they just need the help of an army that could defeat the loyalist forces.

The third war Rajput
The 1750 marked the union of Ajmer in Rajasthan and Udaipur in the person of Rama Singh, aristocratic elected king on the death without heirs of the above, by their peers, who were hoping for a major cultural force and policy against the rulers. Some gentlemen
dell'Ajmer, however, chose the namesake of the old king, Prithviraj, who was his brother. Faced with this opposition, in 1753 Rama asked to legitimize Nasr, but he refused. Driven by their constituents in 1754 proclaimed itself independent mahraja Granata, attacking and killing supporters of the rival.
Granada's response was delayed due to financial constraints and the fact that the Ministry of War had given the go-ahead to recruit a single division, mostly Sindhis, in the area. Without sufficient forces to attack, Rama Singh remained in his kingdom. The offensive came from Delhi, who feared the expansion of the Rajput rebellion among their own. And indeed it happened after the defeat of the army sent to suppress the reign of Rama Singh, other nobles joined him.
Granada had not sufficient funds to arm the soldiers nor the leverage to ask the local lords. Nasr then authorized the use of Shadows, the special body, which had been used in the Balkans to suppress outbreaks of rebellion in Africa and to remove any seditious elements. Captain Barre, sent to India with 400 men in 1755, conceived a daring plan: he knew that one day he would meet Rama in the city of Pushkar with other nobles to give a speech. Disguised as an Afghan merchant, with eighty-six men walked in that city. At the time of the meeting, the soldiers made way through the crowd and attacked their targets, killing many of the nobles and the king himself and injuring others. In flight from the city only two men managed to reach the border with Marwar, but the action was very important: who lost many of their leaders, many rebels surrendered to the army and remained grenadine and Delhi only a few pockets of resistance, which for 1756 had been destroyed, even by other coups of Shadows.
However, until the early 1800s, occasionally some lords of the region began to promptly isolated and uprisings.
