प्रश्न
Answer the following question briefly:
Mir Qasim was a competent ruler, determined to free himself from foreign control. In this context answer the following:
What steps did Mir Qasim take to strengthen his position? Why did he abolish all duties on internal trade?
उत्तर
To strengthen his position, Mir Qasim improved Bengal's financial position and raised a modern, disciplined, and well-equipped army trained by Europeans. The company's employees misused their trade privileges.
They sold their duty-free trade points to Indian merchants who also used them to carry on duty-free trade. This deprived the Nawab of large revenues. To put an end to the corrupt practices of the British, Mir Qasim abolished all duties on internal trade.
