Before the foundation of Calcutta the biggest English settlement in Bengal was Hughli.
The so-called ‘Black Hole’ tragedy refers to Alleged imprisonment of 123 Englishmen into a small room, resulting in the death of most of them.
The Revolution of 1760 in Bengal refers to deposition of Mir Jafar and accession of Mir Qasim as nawab of Bengal.
On the eve of the Battle of Buxar, Shuja-ud-daula arrested Nawab Mir Qasim because Mir Qasim evaded the payment for the maintenance of the army of Awadh.
After Bengal, the English secured the rights of duty-free trade in the dominions of Nawab of Awadh.
The worst crime committed by the English during the great famine of Bengal in 1770 was that they forced the peasants to sell the seed needed for the next harvest.
Nawab Mir Jafar suffered from Leprosy.
The nawab of Bengal who made over all the revenues of Bengal in lieu of an annual pension of Rs. 50 lakh was Najm-ud-daula
The three districts, which were ceded by Nawab Mir Qasim to the Company by the treaty of September 1760 were Burdwan, Midnapur and Chittagong.
In July 1763 the English declared war against Mir Qasim because he had exempted all merchants from the payment of duties.
The dastaks, the misuse of which was a source of constant friction between the nawab and the East Indian Company, were actually permits secured by Company as per the farmans of Farrukhsiyar for import-export trade without payment of duties.
89 per cent the rental derived by the zamindar from the peasantry was expected to remit to the Company under the Permanent Settlement.
The rich merchants of Bengal conspired with the English against the nawab of Bengal mainly on account of the insulting behaviour of Nawab Siraj-ud-daula towards the merchants.
