Answer:

He first came to prominence for his heroic defence of the Carnatic's capital of Arcot in October 1751 against the French. This helped establish British power in southern India. As a lieutenant-colonel Clive then commanded the expedition sent to recover Calcutta from Nawab Siraj-Ud-Daulah in December 1756.

His achievements included checking French Imperial ambitions on the Coromandel Coast and establishing EIC control over Bengal, thereby taking the first step towards establishing the British Raj, though he worked only as an agent of the East India Company, not the British government
