Most people in India don't know about this battle and it's significance for the subcontinent, and the world. Getting the right's to levy and collect taxes in Bengal meant that effectively the EIC became the government of the richest province of the subcontinent. Morover, their method of taxing the population differed from that of the native kings. While the native rulers charged taxes in a percentage of the value of the produce, the company set a lump sum target for all businesses and farmers, how to meet the target was your problem. In short institutionalised extortion. The company used this gold mine to build a bigger army, and repeat the process all over the subcontinent. They were also lucky that the Marathas and Afghans destroyed each other in the 3rd battle of Panipat. From there on, the EIC only had to defeat the Sikh empire which ruled a important chunk of northwest India, and they were in control. But it ended in 1858. And the crown rule ended in 1947. So 1757 to 1947. 200 years of humiliation. Thanks to one guy Mir Jaffer.

A clear, well informed and at the point video, Chris. Thanks! Some thinks: A) The case of India conferms the principle that usually great countries soffered more for internal problems that for external: if Mogul Empire remained united the Europeans couldn' t interfere in the country in this measure ( and Islamic rulers didn' t establish himself easily in an united India durin Middle Age). B) It is dangerous to judge an event of the past on the base of moral principles of present. Colonialism is a great problem not only for the historians but we must avoid anachronistic judgement. This for contextualise the events. C) The army of the nawab could win the battle encircling Clive army , fixing it whit infantry and artillery and attaccking from the rear whith cavalry.After some hours of fighting a determinated general assault could threw the exhousted troops of the Company in the river. But this tactic required a strong leadership and loyal comandants. It wasn' t the case. Certainly Mir Jafar confirms, in my opinion, the Spanish proverb " The treason is nice but the traitor is disgusting ". Bye and see you soon.
