1) Why do we try and divide history into different periods?
Ans: We do so in an attempt to capture the characteristics of a time, its central features as they appear to us. So the terms through which we periodise – that is, demarcate the difference between periods – become important. They reflect our ideas about the past.
2) Before plassey:
Over- interference of the Company became the main cause of the Battle of Plassey. Secondly, when company disagreed, Siraj-ud-daulah marched and was successful in attacking the English factory at Kassim Bazar. When Company in Calcutta got this news, they sent an army under Robert Clive and defeated the Nawab at Plassey.
After plassey:
After his victory at Plassey, Clive was appointed Governor of Bengal. In 1765 he secured the 'diwani', the right to collect the tax and customs revenue of Bengal, from Emperor Shah Alam II for the Company. This confirmed British military supremacy in the region and gave the Company a political stake in India.
3)
The concept of separation of powers refers to a system of government in which the powers are divided among multiple branches of the government, each branch controlling different facet of government.
Separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another. The intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.
