Siraj ud-Daulah was one of the most famous and the last self-governing Nawab of Bengal. Under his reign, which lasted from April 9, 1756 to June 23, 1757, Siraj ud-Daulah stood his ground against the ‘British East India Company,’ which had begun capturing parts of Bengal. Siraj ud-Daulah was one of those few Indian rulers who knew the intention of the British right from the beginning, which prompted him to act against British colonization in Bengal. Siraj ud-Daulah’s strong resistance against the British led to the famous ‘Battle of Plassey,’ during which the Nawab of Bengal was deceived by a group of his own men, headed by Mir Jafar. Apart from costing Siraj ud-Daulah his victory against the British, Mir Jafar’s betrayal also went on to play a crucial role in history as it opened the gates for the British to conquer Bengal and later the whole of Indian subcontinent.
