Why did the British company remove Mir jafar and Mir Qasim from the throne of Bengal?
Answers
Mir Jaffar helped the British East India Company defeat Siraj Ud-Daulah, and was installed as the Nawab of Bengal by the British in 1757. But a year later, they found out that he had taken up sides with the Dutch East India Company. This led to his ouster from the position of Nawab.
After the ouster of Mir Jaffar, his son-in-law, Mir Qassim was appointed the Nawab of Bengal and ruled from 1760 to 1763. Though initially Mir Qassim played along with the demands and rules of the British, he fell out with them and raised an independent army, fighting several battles with the British. After living in obscurity for a few years, he died in 1777.
Answer:
The East India Company removed Mir Jaffer and Mir Qasim from the throne of Bengal because they had an independent spirit and thus refused to dance on the tunes of East India Company. ... In the battle of Plassey 1757, Mir Jaffar helped British to defeat the Nawab of Bengal. So he was made the Nawab of Bengal.
