Clive was born in an ordinary and unknown family in England in 1725. His childhood was remarkable in one sense that he was known to his neighbours as a wicked and in-disciplined boy who did not know how to fear or to obey.

Nobody could have thought at that time that he was the same boy who one day would change the history of three nations, England, France and India.

It was that violent and fearless character of the man which was partly responsible for his success in the East amid difficult and dangerous circumstances.

The economic condition of Clive’s father was getting worse day by day and his father was unable to maintain the big family. Clive’s mother could not rear up the child in happy and affectionate conditions. The ancestral house was getting old and falling to pieces. The parents thus could not give the boy good training at home. Clive even did not get good education. In that background he grew in years and his wickedness also continued to increase day by day. To Clive’s father his son’s future appeared dark.

Clive was not even prepared to listen any advice from any one nor should he remain obedient to his parents. Having lost hope about the future of his son Clive’s father thought of sending him to India as a petty clerk of the East India Company. His prayer was granted and Clive was appointed to work in Madras. When he reached Madras he was only eighteen years old. In that hot summer day Clive landed in India. The new country, the new climate and the new surrounding everything appeared to him unpleasant.

His work appeared to him monotonous and there was no satisfaction from the work. He desperately desired to return back to England and that became impossible. Clive gradually felt disgusted with the stereo-typed work of keeping account of trade, talking to traders and loading goods in ships.

The climate of India proved too unhealthy for him. Once Clive became so ill that the hope of his life was given up but he survived. Yet the life appeared to him so painful he did not want to live so twice Clive did try to commit suicide by directing his gun at his own head but both the times he failed. “It seems that fate must be reserving me for some purpose” Clive thought. With that consolation in mind he started working in the changing situation of the company. Political factors entered into company’s activities.

The Anglo-French wars began in India. In that changed circumstances Clive gave up the clerk’s job and received military training. He possessed the qualities of courage and organizing capacity required of a soldier. Those were the days when the number of the English men in India was small. Naturally enough Clive could quickly show his capacity as a soldier in facing grave dangers with strong determination. Among his fellow soldiers he could mark himself out as a man of superior intelligence. Clive utilized his real intelligence in the Second Anglo-French War.
