how misuse of dastak became a cause for battle of plassey
Answers
Answer:
Dastak, in 18th-century Bengal, a permit exempting European traders, mostly of the British East India Company, from paying customs or transit duties on their private trade. The name came from the Persian word for “pass.” The practice was introduced by Robert Clive, one of the creators of British power in India, when he had Mīr Jaʿfar installed as nawab of Bengal in 1757. The attempt of Mīr Jaʿfar’s successor, Mīr Qāsim, to annul the use of dastaks led to his overthrow in 1763–64 and the exercise of overt control of Bengal by the British.
Answer:
Majorly, the reasons for the Battle of Plassey to take place were: The rampant misuse of the trade privileges given to the British by the Nawab of Bengal. Non-payment of tax and duty by the workers of the British East India Company.
