Answer:Sirajuddaulah’s commanders, never fought the battle. Clive had
managed to secure his support by promising to make him nawab
after crushing Sirajuddaulah.
Explanation: Absence of a strong central leadership– with the decline of the Mughals, there was
no strong central leadership in India to check the activities of the British.
• Lack of unity among the Indian states– the Indian states were unable to form a
united front against the British, who took advantage to play one ruler against the other.
• The weakness of the Indian rulers–many rulers chose to have a subsidiary alliance
with the British rather than fight them.
They showed little regard to the poor and carried out few reforms for the
benefit of the people.
• Britain’s superior army and navy–the British soldiers had better firearms than the
Indians. They were also better disciplined and better trained than the Indian soldiers.
