Impact of the Battle of Plassey: A Review

The natural riches, treasury, and local labour of Bengal were mercilessly exploited after the English India Company had established its dominance there. Economic exploitation had a negative impact on Indian culture and social life throughout that time. An extended era of discontent, poverty, and exploitation started once the Mughal dynasty's administrative, legal, financial, and military systems were destroyed. In other words, it contributed to India's extraordinary poverty and general backwardness while causing riches to flow from India to England. The Nawab of Bengal rebelled against the company as a consequence of the exploitation, which precipitated the Battle of Plassey. The post-Plassey political and economic architecture of Bengal is thoroughly discussed in the current work. It shows how the English East India Company changed and operated in the middle of the eighteenth century. It also focuses on how the Corporation paved roads to the political power of India.
