Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The nawabs of Awadh and Bengal tried to do away with the jagirdari system to reduce the Mughal influence.
Burhan-ul-Mulk made an effort to lessen the number of office holders (jagirdars) appointed by the Mughals in the Awadh province. Additionally, he reduced the size of jagirs and filled open posts with his trustworthy employees.
Bengal progressively escaped Mughal rule under the leadership of Murshid Quli Khan, who was appointed to serve as the province's naib or deputy governor. He sent all Mughal jagirdars to Orissa to lessen Mughal power in Bengal and commanded a thorough re-evaluation of Bengal's revenues.
