The Nawab of Bengal consider fortifications as a direct challenge to their sovereignty
Explanation:
- The Bengal Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah claimed that a king could not afford private sector traders to build fortresses or fight wars within his territories. The strengthening of Siraj made Calcutta feel like an assault on its sovereignty
- Siraj was willing to let Europeans stay, not owners, as merchants. In "Calcutta & Chandernagore" he ordered the British and French to break down their fortifications and refrain from attacking each other.
- Moreover, regardless of the Nawab instructions, the English had claimed the absolute freedom to trade freely in Bengal. Siraj-ud-Daulah did not accept this demand from the British and could recognise the British 's intentions. Thus he agreed to conform with the rules of the English nation
- Although the French Company was pursuing its order, for it's optimism and faith in the Carnatic the English company resisted. Even against the desires and trade of the Nawab, they agreed to remain in Bengal
