Correct Answer: Forces led by commander Mir Jafar never fought the battle.


Solution : The correct answer is Forces led by commander Mir Jafar never fought the battle .

On June 23, 1757, the British East India Company, led by Robert Clive, decisively defeated the Nawab of Bengal and his French allies in the Battle of Plassey. One of the causes of Siraj ud-Daulah's failure was that the forces under the command of Mir Jafar never engaged in combat. It is largely regarded as the beginning of British rule in India and a watershed moment in the subcontinent's history.
