A proposito di questo titolo

This episode of The Hidden History of Bengal explores the life and legacy of Nawab Alivardi Khan, the independent Mughal governor who ruled Bengal from 1740 to 1756. We delve into his rise to power, his military campaigns against the Maratha invasions (the Bargi raids), and his administrative reforms that maintained Bengal's prosperity. Learn about the Maratha depredations that devastated parts of Bengal, Alivardi's diplomatic maneuvering, and his patronage of art and culture. Also covered are his succession by his grandson Siraj ud-Daulah and the fateful Battle of Plassey that followed. A nuanced portrait of a ruler who kept Bengal stable even as the Mughal Empire crumbled.
