In 1763, just two years after the Battle of Plassey, the British East India Company faced a crisis that nearly destroyed its rule in Bengal. While historians focus on Mir Qasim’s defeat at Buxar, fewer remember the brutal siege of Krishnanagar, where Nawab Mir Kasim sought refuge with his ally, Maharaja Krishna Chandra Roy. The city fell to Robert Clive’s forces in a massacre that left thousands dead and shattered the remaining political autonomy of Bengali nobility. This episode explores the human cost of imperial consolidation through the eyes of those who survived it. We examine the strategic blunders of Mir Qasim, the moral ambiguity of Krishna Chandra Roy’s alliance, and the sheer violence of the sack of Krishnanagar. By looking at this forgotten chapter, we understand how the British transitioned from traders to rulers not through diplomacy, but through terror. Join us as we uncover the letters, accounts, and oral histories that reveal the true price of empire in the heart of Bengal. #MirQasim #Krishnanagar #BengalHistory #EastIndiaCompany #RobertClive #MaharajaKrishnaChandraRoy #BattleOfPlassey #IndianEmpire #ColonialViolence #NawabOfBengal #18thCenturyIndia #SouthAsianHistory #FexingoHistory #History #Documentary #Podcast #MughalDecline #BritishRaj Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
