How did the nawabs and rajas lose their power
Answers
Nawabs lost their power because as india was politically instable at that time, the nawabs fought between themselves to gain control over each other's kingdom. The British took advantage and supported a particular nawab and made him win and then took subsidary alliance with the British which gave the English immense power. So, slowly British gained full control over their kingdom and executed the nawab and thus the nawabs lost their power. British shared powers with nawabs such as Revenue, military , judiciary (all the profit making departments) and gained financial power. This also made Dual Govt. in Bengal.
