In 1757, the Battle of Plassey was fought between the Nawab of Bengal Siraj ud-Daulah and the British Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Clive. The history of the battle is usually polarised. While Indian’s hail Siraj ud-Daulah as a hero fighting against colonial oppression, there is the victor’s point of view which justifies Clive’s actions as a reaction to imprisonment of British officials in the ‘Black Hole of Calcutta’.
In history, it is not always easy to assign labels of ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Each person has distinctive story to tell. Sudeep Chakravarti’s book ‘Plassey: The Battle That Changed The Course of Indian History‘ introduces us to a larger range of characters and unfolds their roles slowly, substantiated with a variety of sources.
