		Siraj's father Zain Uddin was the ruler of Bihar and his mother Amina Begum was the youngest daughter of Nawab Ali Vardi Khan.

		The accession of Sirajuddaula threatened the position of the dominant section of the ruling group in Murshidabad, which was engaged in accumulation of wealth during the time of the earlier nawabs.

	A saga of stupidity and poor judgment \| Books \| Arts \| Telegraph
		Dalley is not, however, much interested in what she calls "this bidding-war of numbers"; what concerns her is the mythology that grew up around what was really a minor incident in the annals of warfare, and the effect this mythology had on Britain's subsequent involvement in India.
		She rightly describes the events that led to the hot-tempered Siraj marching upon the badly fortified British enclave of Calcutta as a "saga of stupidity and poor judgment" on both sides.
		Siraj almost certainly had no idea that his troops were cramming prisoners into a tiny cell, but through Holwell's account he became a byword for oriental barbarism, and this in turn excused his assassination after Calcutta had been recaptured by commander-in-chief Robert Clive, and the eventual imposition of British rule on a nation of "savages".

		It is clear that the survivors were not treated with any brutality and their incarceration, indeed, had not been an act of wanton cruelty so much as an example of crass stupidity: they were let out on Siraj's orders as soon as he heard what had happened overnight.
		Eventually they were set free and Holwell, 45 at the time of the tragedy, died at Pinner in Middlesex after reaching the age of 87, which was pretty good going in any circumstances in the 18th century.
		Siraj, of course, was made to pay for his insolence when Robert Clive demolished his army at Plassey and in doing so announced the effective start of the British Indian empire, to replace what had hitherto been merely a colony of aggressive entrepreneurs let loose by London.

		On the day of the Battle of Plassey, Siraj-Ud-Daulah faced off against the British, apparently with overwhelming force, but at the critical time Mir Jafar's men stood watching passively while the soldiers of Siraj-Ud-Daula were decimated by the smaller but much better armed British forces.
		After Siraj Ud Daulah’s defeat and subsequent execution, Mir Jafar achieved his long-pursued dream of gaining the throne, and was propped up by the British as puppet Nawab.
