What are the reasons for having battle of Plassey?????...
Answers
Answer: Various causes leading to the Battle of Plassey: By the time when Siraj-ud-Daulah became the new Nawab of Bengal , both French and English were strengthening their respective fortifications in an expectation of war that may likely occur between them due to the seven years war(1756-1763) that broke out between them in Europe. When Siraj-ud-Daulah forbade them to fortify their settlements, the French readily obeyed while the English flatly refused.
Secondly, The servants of the East India Company misused their Commercial privileges acquired from the Mughal Emperor through 'Royal Farman(Firman) of 1717', according to which the English Company could carry on trade in Bengal duty-free. This privileges was misused by the Company's Servants for their private trade and not only that, they sometimes even sold these Passes or Dastaks to their friendly native traders which cost the Nawab's treasury so dear.
Thirdly, The English fully exploited the discontentment of the Hindus against the tyrannical rule of the Muslim and instigated them against the Nawab and had even given shelter to them. Once, Siraj demanded the surrender of one of his bitterest enemy, Krishna Das to him, the latter flatly refused. Thus, being provoked Siraj marched to Calcutta and seized the English Factory at Kasimbazaar and then occupied Fort William on 20th June,1756. Siraj then returned back to Murshidabad, leaving Calcutta under the charge of one of his Officer, Manikchand.
