Nadir, a Turkmen chief of the Afshar tribe, rose in the service of the Safavid Tahmasp II, drove the Afghans out of Iran and recovered lands lost to the Ottomans and Russia. In 1736 he set the Safavids aside and was proclaimed shah on the Mughan plain. He invaded Mughal India and sacked Delhi in 1739, carrying off the Peacock Throne. His later reign turned to heavy taxation, revolts and cruelty, and he was assassinated by members of his guard in 1747.
