प्रश्न
With reference to the rise and growth of Bengal as a regional power, discuss the failures of the nawabs of Bengal
Advertisements
उत्तर
The nawabs of Bengal, however, failed to understand the true nature and ulterior motives of the British trading company. They believed that a trading company could never challenge their authority. No efforts were made to reorganize and strengthen the army. Corruption was rampant, and even high-ranking officials were susceptible to bribes. These weaknesses made Bengal a happy hunting ground for the aggressive and imperialistic ambitions of the British.
