The battle of Plassey (1757) followed by that of Buxar (1764) gave the Company access to the revenues of the subas of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa and a subsequent edge in the contest for paramountcy in Hindustan. Control over revenues resulted in a gradual shift in the orientation of the Company’s agenda – from commerce to land revenue – with important consequences. This chapter will trace the development of the Company’s rise to power in Bengal, the articulation of commercial policies in the context of Mercantilism that developed as an informing ideology in Europe and that found limited application in India by some of the Company’s officials. This found expression until the 1750’s in the form of trade privileges, differential customs payments and fortifications of Company settlements all of which combined to produce an alternative nucleus of power within the late Mughal set up.

We are aware that natural calamities including drought, crop failure, flood etc. cause famines. Thus the aim of our present study is, therefore, to give a complete and analytical picture of famines in Murshidabad during the British rule. Before the establishment of the East India Company's rule in Bengal, Murshidabad had been one of the prosperous and richest places of India. The famine of 1770 was an appalling spectre on the threshold of British rule in Bengal. The permanent settlement was introduced by Cornwallis in 1793. The imperialist policy made peoples endless sorrows, sufferings, poverty, exploitation and permanent oppression. During famine of 1866 in India Murshidabad district was not so affected like Nadia and Burdwan. In the famine year of 1866.Famine of 1874 affected most of the districts of Bengal. But the people of Murshidabad were not so heavily affected by the famine of 1874. The Bengal famine of 1943 stuck entire Bengal province. Murshidabad was one of the most severely affected districts by this famine. Each and every Subdivision of Murshidabad district was affected.

How the Riches of Bengal Laid to the Consolidation of British Empire in India
American International Journal of Available online at http://www.iasir.net Research in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences ISSN (Print): 2328-3734, ISSN (Online): 2328-3696, ISSN (CD-ROM): 2328-3688 AIJRHASS is a refereed, indexed, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and open access journal published by International Association of Scientific Innovation and Research (IASIR), USA (An Association Unifying the Sciences, Engineering, and Applied Research) How the Riches of Bengal Laid to the Consolidation of British Empire in India Dr. Hareet Kumar Meena Assistant Professor, Department of History, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University, Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh, INDIA [email protected] Abstract: The English East India Company was established on 31st December 1600 in Britain with objective to trade with India. However, the mid eighteenth century witnessed the transformation of English East India Company from a commercial enterprise to a status of mighty political power. Apart from the other numerous causes, the decline of Mughal rule obviously provided a great opportunity for expansion East India Company. In reference to Bengal, it was mainly the commercial rivalry between the British and the Nawabs of Bengal, which plotted the battels of Plassey (1757) and Buxar (1764). More to it, the deterioration in the administration provided a chance to the English Company to play a significant job in the politics of Bengal. After the betrayal of Plassey, the company's priority shifted towards establishing an extended empire in India rather than collecting revenue. The Company decided to acquire the fertile region of Bengal in order to maintain its trade and military strength. The intention of the Company to remit the surplus revenue of Bengal as tribute through the channel of investment brought about certain changes in the nature of functioning of the Company.

Locating the Monastery in Landscape Context: a Preliminary Study of Raktamrittika Mahavihara of Karnasuvarna
Locating the Monastery in Landscape Context: A Preliminary Study of Raktamrittika Mahavihara of Karnasuvarna Somreeta Majumdar1 1. Department of Ancient Indian History Culture and Archaeology, Visva Bharati University, Bolpur, West Bengal – 731 235, India (Email: somreetamajumdar186@ gmail.com) Received: 15 July 2019; Revised: 24 August 2019; Accepted: 01 October 2019 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 7 (2019): 622-641 Abstract: This paper attempts to investigate the geographical and cultural aspects of the landscape of Radha region integral to Raktamrittika Mahavihara, a Buddhist establishment of Karnasuvarna, situated in Murshidabad district of West Bengal. It aims to understand the conduciveness and constraints of the landscape favourable to establish the monastery and expand the settlements around the habitational area of Karnasuvarna. We find that the monastery is situated in the heart of the main structural habitational area of Karnasuvarna which was affected by the flood of the meandering course of the Bhagirathi. Despite the detrimental effect of the Bhagirathi, the settlements continued and shifted or moved over time. Keywords: Buddhist Monastery, Early Medieval, Landscape, Bhagirathi, Radha region, Karnasuvarna, Semi-compact Settlement Introduction The Buddhist monasteries have been central to the archaeological study while the natural and cultural phenomena of its surrounding are seen as separate aspects with scant interest in the human adaptation and cultural patterns. The canonical texts, aesthetic aspects of the architectural setting, inscriptions and coins dominate the archaeological monographs on the sites of the Buddhist monuments. The normative texts on Buddhism provides the ideals of religious life rather than representing the actual religious practice of Buddhist monks and laities (Schopen 1991: 5-6).

In the Footsteps of Hsüan-Tsang, in Karnasubarna
In the Footsteps of Hsüan-tsang, in karnasubarna Sumit Soren Independent Researcher In those days when there was no discovery channel or BBC; people learnt about distant lands through the travels of brave travelers who undertook perilous journey across thousands of miles. Travelling was certainly not easy in those days when there were no airplanes, motor vehicles or diesel powered ships. Travelling was also not possible through personal endeavor only; often travelers undertook voyage under the patronage or sponsorship of religious institutions or funding from Kings. For these travelers who mainly travelled on foot, caravans or by ships, India was always a favored destination for number of reasons. Stories of the great wealth of India had reached far and wide, the abundance of Buddhist literature and monasteries also invited the travelers to come to India. So we may say India was an attractive destination because of both material and spiritual reason, and thus we find a number of travelers visiting India at different times.

And 19Th-Century Murshidabad Rajib Doogar
Chapter Two From Merchant-Banking to Zamindari: Jains in 18th- and 19th-Century Murshidabad Rajib Doogar Jains were prominent actors in the settlement of Murshidabad and have remained significant in the economic, political, social and cultural life of the area ever since. As far as we can tell, the emergence of the Jain community in Murshidabad was the result of two distinct waves of migration. Between 1700 and 1765 the dominant Jain actors were the Jagat Seths, a line of merchant-bankers who had come from Marwar. The period after 1765 saw the rise of Rajput Jains claiming descent from warrior castes who migrated to Murshidabad and initially set up as bankers or financiers, but, for the most part, quickly became zamindars. They formed the sheherwali (urban) Jain community of Murshidabad which in the 19th century replaced the Jagat Seth family as icons of wealth and pomp. There are significant differences between the history of the Jagat Seths and that of the sheherwali Jains, which reflect clearly their vastly varying roles in Murshidabad. These differences reflect the broader forces at work in Indian society and polity during the 18th and 19th centuries and provide a natural framework for the rest of this chapter. Centre Stage at the Beginning A Jain, Manikchand, who was later given the title of Jagat Seth, “banker to the world”, was present centre stage at the founding of Murshidabad in the early 18th century. The relocation of the Bengal diwani (revenue collectorate) from the Mughal court city of Dacca to the town of Makhsudabad on the east bank of the Bhagirathi river, was an important reform in the 18th-century reorganization of the Mughal administration of Bengal.
