Question
Why did Bengal become a happy hunting ground for the English East India Company?
Advertisements
Solution
The Nawabs of Bengal failed to understand the true nature and ultimate motives of the British trading company. They felt that a trading company could never challenge their authority. No efforts were made to reorganize and strengthen the army. Corruption was much and even high ranking officials were susceptible to bribes. These weaknesses made Bengal a happy hunting ground for the English East India Company.
