Question

What was the important of battle of plassey

Answer 1

The Battle of Plassey is
considered as an important part
of Indian history. These might be
the few things which make it a
major event.
The Battle of Plassey took place
on 23rd June 1757 in Palashi on
the banks of river Bhagirathi.
With its victory over the Nawab
Siraj Ud Daula, who was
supported by the French troops,
the British East India Company
(EIC) annexed Bengal. This
resulted in strengthening of the
Company’s influence over the
place which gradually expanded
to the rest of India in next
hundred years.
Behind the battle, there was
conspiracy between Mir Jafar
(Commander-in-Chief of
Nawab’s army) and Robert Clive
(Commander-in-Chief of British
EIC). After the victory, EIC made
Mir Jafar the Nawab of Bengal.
Mir Jafar was later replaced by
Mir Qasim, due to his
disobedience towards EIC. Mir
Qasim became a puppet in the
hands of British, which let them
gain control over Bengal further.

Answer 2

The battle lasted only hours and could be labeled... The Battle of Plassey is generally thought to signify the start of British rule in India. The victory was tainted by accusations that Robert Clive, leader of the forces of the East India Company, coerced and bribed the forces of the Nawab of Bengal to commit treason.
