Answer:

Mîrzâ Mohammad Sirâjud Dawla, more popularly known as Siraj-Ud-Daulah, (1733 – July 2, 1757) was the last independent Nawab of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. The end of his reign marks the start of British East India Company rule in India. Many of the British, who were unable to pronounce his name correctly, also called him "Sir Roger Dowlett." In English literature, Siraj-ud-Daulah is depicted as cruel and despotic, almost as if this justified his overthrow. In fact, behind much of the literature the developing notion of the white man's burden can be detected, that Indian rulers such as Siraj were too decadent to be allowed to remain in power, so by removing them the British were bringing better governance to India. The annexation of Bengal by the East India Company can be identified as the real birth of the British Raj in India, although the British government would not take direct control of Indian territories until 1858, when Victoria of the United Kingdom was proclaimed Queen (later Empress) of India. In Indian literature, Siraj's character is not especially praised and his faults and weaknesses are recognized but he is regarded as a victim, not as a villain. The villains, from an Indian perspective, were the British and those Indians who betrayed Siraj who for all his faults was the legal ruler of Bengal. Towards the end of the century, further South, the ruler of Mysore, Tippu Sultan would succeed in inflicting several defeats on the British but was defeated when rival Indian rulers allied themselves with the British. It was this divide and rule polity that enabled the British to subjugate India. Indian independence became inevitable once the great majority decided that they did not want the British to remain. As long as a significant number collaborated with the British and gained from their presence, their position was secure.
