Answer:
Lord Clive was the commander of British army in the battle of Plassey against the Nawab of Bengal Siraj-ud-Daula. Lord Clive was successful in bribing the commander of Siraj-ud-Daula army Mir Jaffar. British were able to gain huge wealth and trade rights from the next ruler of Bengal Nawab Mir Jaffar. Success in the battle of Plassey increased Clive’s importance to the East India Company (EIC) so he was chosen as Governor of Bengal.
After the defeat of Portuguese and Dutch, French Trading Company was the biggest challenge for British in India. Lord Clive played important role in battles against French trading Company. Success in the BATTLES the against French changed E.I.C from a trading company into ruler. Due to these services Robert Clive was appointed as the first Governor of Bengal.
