The battle of Plassey was fought on 23nd January 1757 at Plassey, 150 km, north of Calcutta. The battle was fought between the forces of Siraj-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal and Company forces under Robert Clive. The highest ranked army Generals of the Nawab had conspired against the Nawab and thus did't take part in the battle.
