Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Siraj-ud-Daulah was the last independent Nawab of Bengal, reigning from 1756 to 1757. The end of his reign marked the beginning of the rule of the East India company over Bengal and later almost all of the Indian subcontinent.

Siraj ascended to the masnad on 09 April 1756, following the death of his maternal grandfather, Alivardi Khan, at the age of 23. Betrayed by Mir Jafar, the commander of Nawab's army, Siraj lost the battle of Plassey on 23 June 1757. The forces of the East India company under Robert Clive invaded and the administration of Bengal fell into the hands of the company. Siraj-ud-Daulah attempted to escape, but Mir Jafar seized him and brought him to his residence. he held the nawab by the waist and captured him, Siraj was executed on 2 July 1757.
