Question

Answer 1

The famous Battle of Plassey was fought between Siraj-ud-Daulah-the last independent nawab of Bengal and Robert Clive- British army commander of East India Company on June 23, 1757. The causes of the battle are as follows:

• In 1717, the British were granted Dastaks which they misused as a guise to avoid paying taxes.
• They started the enhancement of weaponry in Fort Williams and increased its fortification with the aim of expanding their empire.
• British continuously interfered in the internal affairs of the Nawab which the independent nawabs disliked.
