The company had become the chief financial administrator of Bengal. On 12 August 1765, the Mughal emperor appointed the East India Company as the Diwan of Bengal. The actual event most probably took place in Robert Clive's tent, with a few Englishmen and Indians as witnesses.
Answer:
Bengal
Explanation:
After Robert Clive had conquered Bengal in 1757, imposing a Nawab (governor) of his choice, the Great Mughal offered him the Diwani (civil administration) of the province. Clive originally wanted to accept this only on behalf of the Crown and not on behalf of the East India Company, but Pitt feared that King George III would use the revenue of Bengal so as to bypass Parliament on whose grants he depended on. Pitt urged Clive to accept the Diwani on behalf of the Company. This was confirmed by the decree (Firman) of Shah Alam.
