Answer:

The Nawab of Bengal (Bengali: বাংলার নবাব) was the hereditary ruler of Bengal Subah in Mughal India. In the early 18th-century, the Nawabs were de facto independent rulers of Mughal-era districts in Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa.They are often referred to as the Nawab of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (Bengali: বাংলা বিহার ও ওড়িশার নবাব). Their territory included modern eastern India and Bangladesh. After 1880, the title was known as the Nawab of Murshidabad (Bengali: মুর্শিদাবাদের নবাব) in British India.

In 1717, the Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar upgraded the office of the Subedar of Bengal into a principality. The new rulers of the province were recognized as hereditary Princes. The Nawabs continued to issue coins in the name of the Mughal Emperor. But for all practical purposes, the Nawabs governed as independent monarchs. Bengal was the richest Mughal dominion and contributed the largest share of funds to the imperial treasury in Delhi. The Nawabs, backed by bankers such as the Jagat Seth, became the financial backbone of the Mughal court. During the 18th-century, the Nawabs of Bengal were among the wealthiest rulers in the world.

Under the Nawabs, Bengal attracted the trade of the British East India Company, the French East India Company, the Danish East India Company, the Austrian Ostend Company, and the Dutch East India Company. The British emerged as a formidable rival to the authority of the Nawabs. In 1757, the last independent Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah was overthrown by the British. He was replaced by the puppet Nawab Mir Jafar whose successor Mir Qasim attempted in vain to dislodge the British. The defeat of Nawab Mir Qasim of Bengal, Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula of Oudh, and Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II at the Battle of Buxar in 1764 paved the way for British expansion across India. The British government abolished the Mughal court in 1858. The British later demoted the nominal Nawab of Bengal to the status of a zamindar, with the title of Nawab of Murshidabad in 1880.
