Explanation:Through the early eighteenth century the conflict between the Company and the nawabs of Bengal intensified.After the death of Aurangzeb, the Bengal nawabs asserted their power and autonomy, as other regional power were doing at that time. Murshid Quii Khan was followed by Alivardi Khan and then Sirajuddaulah as the nawab of Bengal. Each one of them was a strong ruler. They refused to grant the Company concessions, demanded large tributes for the Company's right to trade, denied it any right to mint coins, and stopped it from extending its fortifications. Accusing the company of deceit, they claimed that the Company was depriving the Bengal government of huge amount of revenue and undermining the authority of the nawab. It was refusing to pay taxes, writing disrespectful letters, and trying to humiliate the nawab and his officials. The Company on its part declared that the unjust demands of the local officials were ruining the trade of the Company, and trade could flourish only if the duties were removed. It was also convinced that to expand trade it had to enlarge its settlements, buy up villages, and rebuild its forts.
