Sayyid Lashkar Khan-Nasir Jung II, also known as Mir Isma'il (died 1757 A.D.) , was a prominent diplomat and served as the Prime Minister of Hyderabad, holding the title of Diwan, under the rule of Salabat Jung.He was one of the prominent prime ministers who had intelligence in war tactics. He had worked under the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah as well as under Nizam Salabat Jung.
Early Life
His name was Mir Isma'il and his ancestors hailed from Sirpul near Balkh. His lineage traces back to Mir Saiyid Ali Divanah, whose shrine in a village in Punjab is highly revered, and who was a descendant of Shah Ni'mat Ullah Vali. His uncle, Saiyid Hashim Khan, served in the royal court. Since Mir Isma'il's father passed away when he was young, Hashim Khan raised him. Mir Isma'il joined the ranks of the 'Ser Servants of the Special Brotherhood', a term referring to the Mughal Mansabdars, and was granted the title of Musafir Khan. In the first year of Muhammad Shah's reign, during the battle with Alam 'All Muk, he, along with Nizam-ul-Mulk, displayed exceptional courage, defeating their adversaries in combat. Nizam-ul-Mulk later portrayed his bravery to the King at the latter's request. As a result, he was appointed faujdar of Attock.
