=== The Death and Burial of Siraj ud-Daulah ===
After his defeat at the '''Battle of Plassey''' in 1757, '''Siraj ud-Daulah''', the last independent Nawab of Bengal, attempted to flee but was soon captured. His defeat was the result of both British military strategy and betrayal from within his own ranks most notably by '''Mir Jafar''', his commander-in-chief, who had allied with the British. Once captured, Siraj was handed over to Mir Jafar, who had been installed as the new Nawab of Bengal with British support. Just a few days later, on '''July 2, 1757''', Siraj was '''murdered''' on the orders of '''Miran''', the son of Mir Jafar. His execution was carried out secretly to avoid public unrest, as Siraj still had supporters among the people of Bengal. Siraj ud-Daulah’s body was quietly buried at '''Khoshbagh''', a garden cemetery located near '''Murshidabad''', the then-capital of Bengal. The burial site became his final resting place and remains a symbol of a tragic chapter in Indian history. Today, '''Khoshbagh''' stands as a historical monument, where Siraj’s grave lies alongside those of his family members. His death marked not only the end of his short reign but also the beginning of British political dominance in India.
