Section A Exam-style Questions
History has viewed Clive both as a courageous and resourceful military
commander who ultimately became an imperial statesman, and also as a greedy
speculator who used his political and military influence to amass a fortune, at
India's expense. Although he attempted to reform the Bengal administration
and reduce corruption, Clive was subjected to further political attacks on his
return home in 1767. Accused of running a corrupt administration, he
responded: 'I stand astonished at my own moderation'.
