Question

Why the Company’s government policy in Bengal was called “Dual Govt.”?

Answer 1

The system of dual government was the brainchild of Robert Clive who was the Governor of Bengal. After signing the Allahabad treaty, East India Company got the power to collect revenue. On the other hand, the Nawabs of Bengal were responsible for the administration of the state. Under the system of dual governance, the Britishers got both Diwani and Nizamat. here, Diwani stands for revenue and Nizamat stand for the covial administration. The former they acquired from Mughals and latter from the Nawabs of Bengals. This way the people of Bengal were expolited from two sides.
