Murshidabad: The City That Opened India to British Rule

The conquest of India didn’t begin on a battlefield. It began in the palaces of #Murshidabad, a city once bursting with wealth, ambition and power. On this Independence Day, travel back to a time when India’s richest bankers, the Jagat Seths, made a pact with the East India Company that would lead to the fall of a Nawab and lay the foundations of the ‘British Raj’. This is the untold story of how one act of betrayal became a nation’s burden. Historian William Dalrymple unravels the story of power, money, and unintended consequences. Watch how history was shaped by the wealth of a few. #Hundi #JagatSeths #Murshidabad #WilliamDalrymple #BattleOfPlassey
