the nawabs were indians who administered the area
Explanation:
The areas of conflict between the Bengal nawabs and the East India Company are mentioned below:
The Bengal nawabs asserted their power and autonomy and refused to grant the company concessions.
They demanded large tributes for the Company’s right to trade.
They denied the Company any right to mint coins and stopped the Company from extending its fortifications.
Accusing the Company of deceit, they claimed that the Company was depriving the Bengal government of huge amounts of revenue and undermining the authority of the Nawab. It was refusing to pay taxes, writing disrespectful letters, and trying to humiliate the Nawab and his officials.
The Company on its part declared that the unjust demands of the local officials were ruining the trade of the Company, and trade could flourish only if the duties were removed.
