▶️Battle of Plassey
“British rule in India is conventionally described as having begun in 1757. On June 23rd of that year, at the Battle of Plassey, a small village and mango grove between Calcutta and Murshidabad, the forces of the East India Company under Robert Clivedefeated the army of Siraj-ud-daulah, the Nawab of Bengal. The ‘battle’ lasted no more than a few hours, and indeed the outcome of the battle had been decided long before the soldiers came to the battlefield. The aspirant to the Nawab's throne, Mir Jafar, was induced to throw in his lot with Clive, and by far the greater number of the Nawab's soldiers were bribed to throw away their weapons, surrender prematurely, and even turn their arms against their own army. Jawaharlal Nehru, in The Discovery of India (1946), justly describes Clive as having won the battle ‘by promoting treason and forgery’, and pointedly notes that British rule in India had ‘an unsavoury beginning and something of that bitter taste has clung to it ever since.’”
