Episode 1 of 5
Deposition of Mir Qasim
- When
- 1763
- Where
- Bengal province under Company influence
The East India Company deposed Mir Qasim as Nawab of Bengal in 1763 after his resistance to Company trade privileges.
After Qasim vigorously opposed the Company's tax-free trading under the dastak and abolished taxes on local traders in response to British refusals to pay, the Company moved against him. The supplied sources confirm his fall from power in 1763 but do not give a month or day for the deposition, so the event is dated to the year only.
