I find it a bit confusing. Perhaps you are using a parochial definition
of a Nawab? I am not from the sub-continent! Because this is what I
have googled,
"Muslim rulers almost all used the title "Nawab" (originally the title
of an amovable governor under real Mughal rule, but soon tending to
hereditary succession whenever Delhi/Agra lost effective control over
the province) with the prominent exceptions of the Nizam of Hyderabad &
Berar, the Wali/Khan of Kalat, and the Wali of Swat. Other less usual
titles included Darbar Sahib, Dewan, Jam, Mehtar (unique to Chitral)
and Mir (from Emir).
Nawab (Urdu: =D9=86=D9=88=D8=A7=D8=A8 ) was originally the subadar (provinc=
ial
governor) or viceroy of a subah (province) or region of the Mughal
empire.
The term is Urdu, derived from the Arabic word naib, meaning deputy. In
some areas, especially Bengal, the term is pronounced Nabob. This later
variation has entered the English and other foreign languages, see
below.
Since most of the Muslim rulers of the subcontinent had -like most
otherwise titled Hindu (maha)radjas and other princely states- accepted
the authority of the Mughals at the height of this empire the term
Nawab is often used to refer to any Muslim ruler in the subcontinent.
This is technically imprecise, as it was also awarded to others and not
applied to every Muslim ruler. With the decline of that empire, the
title and the powers that went with it became hereditary in the ruling
families in the various provinces.
Many Nawabs later accepted British rule. Under later British rule,
Muslim Nawabs continued to rule various princely states of Awadh,
Bahawalpur, Baoni, Banganapalle, Bhopal, Cambay, Jaora, Junagadh,
Kalabagh, Kurnool, Kurwai, Palanpur (Pakistan), Pataudi, Rampur,
Sachin, and Tonk. Other former rulers bearing the title, such as the
Nawabs of Bengal, had been dispossessed by the British or others by the
time the Mughal dynasty finally ended in 1857.
The style for a Nawab dynasty's queen(s) (usually his consort, and
Islam is polygamous) is Begum (not specific). Most of the Nawab
dynasties were male primogenitures, although several ruling Begums of
Bhopal were a notable exception.
Before the incorporation of India into the British Empire, Nawabs ruled
the kingdoms of Awadh (or Oudh, encouraged by the British to shed the
Mughal suzereignty and assume the imperial style of Badshah), Bengal,
Arcot and Bhopal.
A few of the Muslim rulers who were tributary to the Mughal emperors
used other titles; the first Nizam of Hyderabad was given the
alternative title Nizam ul Mulk, usually translated as Governor of the
[Mughal] Kingdom."
