About the Book
Akarshan (Bengali Version) delves into a turbulent phase of Bengal’s history, centering around the fall of Siraj-ud-Daulah and the socio-political climate surrounding the Battle of Plassey. The narrative revisits the often-asked question: why did the people of Bengal remain silent spectators when Robert Clive marched almost unopposed from Plassey to Murshidabad with a small force?
Drawing from historical texts such as Siyar-ul-Mutakhirin by Ghulam Husain and accounts referenced in works like Bengal in 1756–1757 and Oxford History of India, the book explores contemporary perspectives on Siraj’s character and governance. It presents documented opinions of various historians and memoirists regarding allegations of administrative failure, moral controversies, and the alienation of influential sections of society during his rule.
The author attempts to reconstruct the psychological, political, and social environment of 18th-century Bengal — highlighting how internal discontent, elite betrayal, and shifting loyalties paved the way for British dominance. This hardcover edition is suitable for readers interested in Bengal’s colonial transition, historiography debates, and critical reinterpretations of pre-colonial leadership.
