S1E3 Battle of Buxar | The Revolution - Untold Story of Indian Freedom...

Mir Jafar was appointed the Nawab of Bengal after the defeat of Siraj-ud-Daula, with significant control held by the British East India Company. The company, primarily focused on trading, sought to maximize profits through their alliance with the Nawab. Mir Jafar struggled to meet the demands of the British and eventually ceded control of a portion of Bengal to them. The Mughal Empire attempted to assert control over Bengal through Prince Shahjada, but was unsuccessful. Mir Jafar ultimately betrayed the British and sought the support of the Mughal forces.
