Who was the Mughal Emperor at the time of Battle of Plassey?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Alamgir IIA. आलमगीर द्वितीय
Explanationव्याख्या
Alamgir II is the correct answer.
The Battle of Plassey was fought in 1757, and Aziz-ud-din, who ruled with the imperial title Alamgir II, was the Mughal emperor at that time.
The battle itself was fought in Bengal between the forces of the British East India Company under Robert Clive and the forces of the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daulah.
Siraj-ud-Daulah is therefore an important name associated with Plassey, but he was the Nawab of Bengal, not the Mughal emperor.
Mir Qasim became Nawab of Bengal later, while Shah Alam II succeeded Alamgir II and is especially associated with the period surrounding the Battle of Buxar and the subsequent grant of Diwani rights.
A useful chronology for examinations is: Battle of Plassey → 1757 → Mughal emperor Alamgir II; Battle of Buxar → 1764 → Mughal emperor Shah Alam II.
The Battle of Plassey significantly increased the East India Company's political influence in Bengal.
Therefore, the answer is Alamgir II.
सही उत्तर आलमगीर द्वितीय है। Battle of Plassey 1757 में लड़ा गया था और उस समय Aziz-ud-din, जिसने Alamgir II की शाही उपाधि धारण की थी, Mughal emperor था। वास्तविक Plassey युद्ध Bengal में British East India Company की Robert Clive के नेतृत्व वाली सेना और Nawab of Bengal Siraj-ud-Daulah की सेना के बीच हुआ था। इसलिए Siraj-ud-Daulah का नाम Plassey से बहुत महत्वपूर्ण रूप से जुड़ा है, लेकिन वह Mughal emperor नहीं बल्कि Bengal का Nawab था। Mir Qasim बाद में Bengal का Nawab बना, जबकि Shah Alam II ने Alamgir II के बाद Mughal throne संभाला और उसका संबंध Battle of Buxar तथा बाद की Diwani व्यवस्था से विशेष रूप से जोड़ा जाता है। परीक्षा के लिए chronology याद रखें: Battle of Plassey → 1757 → Mughal Emperor Alamgir II; Battle of Buxar → 1764 → Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II। Plassey के बाद Bengal में East India Company का राजनीतिक प्रभाव बहुत बढ़ गया। अतः सही उत्तर Alamgir II है।
