Question:- How bengal was captured during the expansion of british power?

—————————————————————

Answer:-

★The British who came to India for trade eventually became the political master of India. From Battle of Plassey to annexation of Punjab in 1849, the entire Indian sub-continent had been brought under British control. Apart from outright wars they employed methods like Subsidiary Alliance and Doctrine of Lapse to expand and consolidate their empire in India

★The English East India Company secured a royal farman in 1717 AD by the Mughal Emperor granting the Company the freedom to export and import goods from and to Bengal without paying taxes and right to issue dastaks (passes) for the movement of such goods. The Company servants were also permitted to trade but were required to pay the same taxes as Indian merchants. This farman was a major cause of tension between the Company and the Nawabs because it fetched less revenue for Bengal. All the Nawabs of Bengal, from Murshid Quli Khan to Alivardi Khan, had been annoyed with the British misuse of the farman. Moreover, the Company’s servants misused the power to issue dastaks for the Company’s goods which caused loss to the royal treasury.

★Siraj-ud-Daulah’s Ascendancy to Throne: The hot-tempered Siraj-ud-Daulah who succeeded his grandfather, Alivardi Khan in 1756 AD, asked the Company to trade as per the same rules and regulations as in the times of Murshid Quli Khan. The British refused to comply and levied heavy duty on Indian goods entering Calcutta, which was under their control. This move greatly annoyed the Nawab. The Company was also fortifying Calcutta as part of its preparation for war with the French. The Nawab ordered to demolish their fortifications. The British refused to obey the order of Nawab causing more tension between the Nawab and the British. Consequently, Siraj ud- Daulah invaded Kasimbazar and captured Fort William in Calcutta (present Kolkata) in 1756 AD.
