Modern Bihar – Bihar History
The beginning of the modern period is often considered to be from the beginning of the 18th century. However, the arrival of Europeans in Bihar started only in the early 17th century. In 1711 AD, dacoits got some concessions from Mughal Emperor Chauhan Dar Sahay for trade in Bengal and Bihar.
Alivardi Khan became the Nayak Nazim of Bihar in 1732 AD and the Nawab of Bengal in 1740 AD. He established peace by pacifying the rebel rulers of Bhojpur, Tekari, Chakwar, Bettiah, Tirhut, etc. areas. Alivardi Khan, the Nawab of Bengal, nominated Siraj-ud-daula as his successor in 1750.
After the death of Nawab Alivardi Khan on 9 April 1756, Siraj-ud-daula became the Nawab of Bengal. The British won the Battle of Plassey, which took place on June 23, 1757, between Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula and the East India Company. The British made Mir Jafar the Nawab of Bengal and his son Miran was made the Nawab of Bihar. But the reality of Bihar remained in the hands of Raja Ram Narayan.
The Mughal emperor Ali Gauhar considered himself the ruler of Bihar, Bengal and Orissa. After the Battle of Plassey, seeing the economy of Bengal's politics, he attacked Bihar in which he was defeated. In 1760 Ali Gauhar, who by now had assumed the title of Shah Alam II, attacked Bihar, but his campaign proved fruitless due to lack of funds and resources. In 1760 AD, Mir Qasim became the Nawab of Bengal with the help of the British.
