what do you mean by system of dual government​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Dual Government means double system of administration. The system of Dual Government was introduced in Bengal by Robert Clive of British East India Company. This system remained in practice during the period from 1765 to 1772. The system was very advantageous for the company as it had power without responsibility.

In 1772, Warren Hasting, governor of Bengal, abolished the Dual government and gained the complete control over Bengal...
