Question

What reforms did Mir Qasim undertake to reorganise Bengal's administration?​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

Mir Qasim was the Nawab of Bengal from the year 1760 till 1764. The British East India Company made him the Nawab of Bengal by replacing Mir Jafar, the father-in-law of Mir Qasim, who was also installed by the British in reply to his treachery in the Battle of Plassey. Since Mir Jafar engaged himself with the Dutch East India Company to assert independence, the British finally defeated Mir Jafar and the Dutch forces at Chinsura and made Mir Qasim the new Nawab of Bengal. Mir Qasim gave Burdwan, Midnapore and Chittagong districts to the company.
