The Last Nawab Of Bangladesh

Siraj-ud-Doula (1756-57), the favourite grandson of alibardi, ascended the throne on the passing away of Alivardi. The adolescent Sultan faced the two-sided dilemma of the ambitions of the progressively more powerful British and the conspiracy of his discontented relatives and bureaucrats. 

He tried to come across these by first robbing his absorbing aunt, Begum Ghasiti, of her assets and tumbling the position of the leader (Bakshi) of the majestic military, Mir-Jafar. On the 24 May 1756 Siraj taken the Cossimbazar industrial unit of the British. Then he went on to take up Calcutta in June 1756. But after that he had to go to Purnea, Bihar to reduce the mutiny of cousin Shaukat Jang, a pretender to the throne. Taking benefit of this circumstances the British combined army and re-conquered Calcutta in February 1757 and followed by struck a surreptitious agreement by Mir-Jafar. The British captured The French industrial unit at Chandernagore. The French wanted protection from the Nawab. The Nawab and the British soldiers, under Robert Clive, met for the last round at Plassey. In an proceed of vast treachery by Mir-Jafar, Siraj was routed on the 23rd June 1757, and killed. Mir-Jafar ascended the throne of Bengal.
