In 1765 the East India Company obtained the Dewani of Sube Bangla from the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam. From now on the Nawabs remained as mere pensioners of the British.
| The Nawabs of Bengal
Murshid Quli Khan (1706-1725 AD), the first of the Nawabs, became the Subedar of Bengal in 1717; he reigned over Bengal, Bihar and Orissa from his capital Murshidabad (Moor-shi-da-bad) with only a nominal allegiance to the Mughal Emperor. Suja-ud-Din (1725-1739 AD) alias Suja Khan son-in-law of Murshid Quli Khan succeeded after Murshid Quli Khan's death. Shuja Khan was a charitable, just and impartial ruler, and gave great encouragement to learning. He was also a patron of art and culture. After his death in 1739 AD he was buried in Roshni Bagh ( garden of lights ) near Farah Bagh. Suja-ud-Din died in 1739 and his son Sarafraj Khan ascended the throne. Alivardi Khan (1740-1756), then the Governor of Patna, got the Sanad as Subedar of Sube Bangla and became the Nawab by defeating and killing Sarfaraz in 1740 and ruled for 16 years thereafter. Though an efficient ruler, he had to face continual attacks by the Maratha and rebellion by the Afghans. He had to buy peace from the Maratha by allowing concessions. He maintained good relationships with the Europeans but did not allow them to increase their military power. Alivardi received the imperial title of "Suja-ul-mulk, Hasem-ud-daulla, Mahabat Jang ( Hero of the Country, Sword of the State, Horror in War )" . Mir-Jafar (1757-1760 AD and 1763-1765 AD) was incompetent ruler even as a puppet. The British replaced him with his son-in-law Mir-Qasim in 1760 on account of non-payment of dues. Mir-Qasim paid the dues off but started to show signs of independence. He shifted his capital to Monghyr in Bihar and tried to reorganise his own army. The British did not approve of this and defeated Mir-Qasim in the Battle of Buxar in 1764.Mir-Qasim was a man of strong passions as well as of resolution. He received the title of "Nasir-ul-Mulk, Etmaz-ud-Daulla, Ali Jah, Nasrut Jang ( Victor of the Country, Politician of the State, of high rank, Victorious in War )" Mir-Jafar regained the crown. He died the following year. This was followed by a number of Nawabs in succession who were merely puppets.
Humayun Jah (1824-1838 AD) : Mubarak Ali Khan, better known as Humayun Jah, ascended the Throne of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa after the death of his father, Wala Jah, in 1824 AD. He received the imperial title of "Shuja-ul-Mulk, Ihtisham-ud-Daulla, Humayun Jah, Feroze Jang ( Hero of the Country, Dignifier of the Country, of auspicious rank, Victor in War )". The present Palace of Hazarduari was erected during his reign, and miniature of it in ivory, prepared by Sagore Mistri, together with portraits of His Highness and his son and other presents were sent to King William IV, who honored the Nawab with the present full size portrait of His Majesty and an autograph latter and conferred upon him the badge and insignia of the Royal Guelphic and Hanoverian order, still preserved in the Palace. Humayun Jah died on the 3rd October, 1838 AD, leaving behind him his son, Mansur Ali Khan alias Feradun Jah and his Daughter Sultana Ghetiara Begam. Feradun Jah (1838-1881 AD): Syud Mansur Ali Khan, known as Feradun Jah, succeeded his father, Humayun Jah, while yet a minor and only eight years old, on 1838 AD. Feradun Jah founded the Nizamat School and the Nizamat College, now known as the Nawabs high School and the Nawabs Madrassa, respectively. He died on the 5th of November, 1884 AD. Nawab Ali Kadr Syud Hassan Ali Meerza Bahadur who succeeded his father, Feradun Jah, the last Nawab Nazim of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, on his retirement in 1880 AD, was born on the 25th of August 1846 AD.

Dear chottala readers,
I fully agree with dina khan about her/his viewpoint that Bangla, Bihar, Urissa was combindly one country before ruled by Nowab Siraj Uddowllah. First British people under the notorious trader Robert Clive took our country from Nowab Siraj Udoowllah. Now India kept Bihar and Urissa under their occupation. The suggestion put forward by dina khan is a right suggestion as the whole of this Bangla, Bihar, Urissa should not be ruled now by Delhi or Pindi. Bihar and Urissa should be out from the controlling of Delhi and should be with Bangladesh to make their original Bangla Bihar Urissa as one country.
dina khan rightly says "It now should be ruled from Dhaka or Morshidabad under one central Parliamentarian Government CONSIDERING BANGLA BIHAR & URISHA as Provincials states of Bengal Bihar Urisha country with THE PROVINCIAL CAPITALS at KOLKHATA, PATNA & URIA ruling under the central Parliamentarian Government from Dhaka or Mushidabad".
Dowllah.

It is the most duty for real human to write any matter correctly & honestly.
The fraud people make fraud history by telling & writing false & fraud.
They are the real killers of humanity & honesty.
Bengal Bihar Urisha was the Nowab Siraj uddowlla's Kingdom,
The historical ground is that Bengal Bihar & Urisha are Independent one country in the name of Bengal Bihar Urisha.
It should not be ruled now by Delhi or Pindi. It should be out from the controlling of Delhi.
It now should be ruled from Dhaka or Morshidabad under one central Parliamentarian Government CONSIDERING BANGLA BIHAR & URISHA as Provincials states of Bengal Bihar Urisha country with THE PROVINCIAL CAPITALS at KOLKHATA, PATNA & URIA ruling under the central Parliamentarian Government from Dhaka or Mushidabad.
