Answer: Robert Clive was not a very nice man. He was a British colonel who while working for the British East India Company, took back the city of Calcutta which had been lost after the BEIC had lost it, and then bribed Mir Jafar, who was a military general who was later appointed Nawab of Bengal, to help get Bengal from Siraj. Clive really established the military and political supremacy of the East Idia company in Bengal-while making himself rich in the process.
