=== Death of Siraj ud-Daulah and His Legacy === After his defeat at the Battle of Plassey on '''June 23, 1757''', Siraj ud-Daulah fled from the battlefield in an attempt to escape capture. However, his efforts were unsuccessful, and he was soon caught by forces loyal to '''Mir Jafar,''' the new '''Nawab installed by the British East India Company'''. On '''July 2, 1757''', Siraj ud-Daulah was killed under the orders of Miran, '''Mir Jafar’s son'''. His death marked the end of his short but eventful reign as the Nawab of Bengal. Despite his defeat and tragic end, Siraj ud-Daulah’s legacy remains significant. He is remembered as a brave and determined leader who stood up against the growing influence of the '''British East India Company in Benga'''l. Siraj’s resistance represented the struggle of Indian rulers to maintain sovereignty and independence during a time of increasing foreign intervention. Over time, historians have viewed Siraj ud-Daulah with a more sympathetic lens, recognizing that his failures were not just personal but also the result of internal betrayal and complex political circumstances. Today, Siraj ud-Daulah is regarded as a symbol of courage and resistance against colonial domination. His story continues to inspire many who study the '''early history of British rule in India.'''
