@Battle of Plassey।23 June 1757
The Battle of Plassey took place on June 23, 1757, in the town of Plassey, Bengal, India. It was a significant battle in the history of British colonization of India. The forces of the British East India Company, led by Robert Clive, defeated the army of the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj ud-Daulah. The battle was the result of political tensions between the British and the Nawab, who had previously revoked the British East India Company's trading privileges in Bengal. The British, seeking to protect their economic interests in the region, decided to confront the Nawab militarily. Clive's forces consisted of around 3,000 men, including British troops and Indian soldiers loyal to the British. The Nawab's army was much larger, with around 50,000 soldiers and 50 elephants. Despite being outnumbered, Clive was able to deceive the Nawab and gain a tactical advantage. Clive's forces engaged the Nawab's army with artillery fire, causing chaos and confusion among the Nawab's troops. In the ensuing battle, the Nawab's army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to retreat. The British victory at Plassey marked the beginning of British colonial dominance in India. It allowed the East India Company to establish control over Bengal and other parts of India, and to expand its economic and political power. The battle also led to the decline of the Mughal Empire and the rise of British influence in India, ultimately leading to British colonial rule over the Indian subcontinent.
