write the result of the double government in bengal
Answers
Thus, the Dual Government in Bengal failed miserably. It destroyed the trade, industry and agriculture of Bengal. In 1770, Bengal suffered from a severe famine and nearly one-third population of Bengal fell victim to its ravages. Though, of course, it was primarily because of the failure of rains, there is no doubt that the sufferings of the people had increased manifold because of the misgovernance of Bengal under the system of “Dual Government”. The Company also did not remain unaffected by the evils of its administration. Its income both from revenue and trade suffered. The practice of private trade which remained the primary concern of its servants, also proved disastrous to the fortunes of the Company. Thus, the Dual Government in Bengal failed ignominiously.
