    Conspiracy against Siraj ud-Daulah

    Jagat Seth Mehtab Chand and allied financial and political figures supported Robert Clive and other opponents of Siraj ud-Daulah before the Battle of Plassey. The episode is controversial because the family’s financial intervention helped the East India Company defeat the nawab and accelerated British political dominance in Bengal, even though the conspirators primarily sought to protect their own interests.
