The rampant misuse of the trade privileges given to the British by the
Nawab of Bengal
Non-payment of tax and duty by the workers of the British East India
Company
Other reasons that supported the coming of this battle were:
Fortification of Calcutta by the British without the Nawab’s permission
Misleading Nawab on various fronts by British
The Battle of Plassey was a decisive victory of the British East India
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.
