                       Nawab of Bengal

                     Misleading Nawab on various fronts by British

                   Company over the Nawab of Bengal and his French allies on 23 June
                   1757, under the leadership of Robert Clive which was possible due to
                   the defection of Mir Jafar Ali Khan, who was Siraj-ud-Daulah's
                   commander in chief.
