Aurangzeb's farman, for instance, had granted only the Company the right to trade duty free. But officials. of the Company, who were carrying on private trade on the side, were expected to pay duty. This they refused to pay, causing an enormous loss of revenue for Bengal. How could the Nawab of Bengal, Murshid Quli Khan, not protest?
Answers
Answer:
Initially, Murshid Quli Khan stayed away from the conflicts among European merchants in his territory. He thought a positive approach towards them would blossom Bengal's economy. He wanted to keep a balance so that a hassle free trade by foreigners be ensured while maintaining the strict watch that no one challenges his authorities. Later Farukhshiyar's farman allowed the privileges of using Nawab's royal treasury for their trade when needed, this angered Quli Khan. After Aurangzeb's death official 'farman' was ruled out by Nawabs of Bengal, and gradually led to fierce clashes between British forces and Indian coalition of princely states.
