Question
Answer the following question:
Why did Mir Jafar enter into a conflict with the English East India Company?
Solution
After the Battle of Plassey, the English East India Company became the real power. The company made demands which Mir Jaffar was unable to meet. Gradually, the Nawab’s treasury became empty. The company also started interfering in the day to day administration. Mir Jaffar was not happy with the company. The company deposed Mir Jaffar and made Mir Qasim, his son-in-law, the new Nawab of Bengal.
