Palashir Pore by Santanu Basu [Hardcover]

June 23, 1757. After the defeat in the Battle of Plassey, Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah fled from Murshidabad. Later, he was captured and died in the custody of Muhammad-Ali-Beg at the Jafarganj Palace. Mir Jafar took control. But what followed? What was the fate of the conspirators? Robert Clive understood that all of India could be easily taken over but he needed the strategic deputation of European forces. In 1760, to implement this plan, he landed in England. Henry Vansittart became the governor of Fort William. 1757 to 1760! Mir Jafar, living in the shadow of English oppression, was immersed in disappointment. Jagatseth was insignificant. To escape Miran's wrath, Rai Durlabh went to Calcutta. The British trading community steadily engulfed the Nawab’s treasury which had fallen into a disarray. Sequel to the acclaimed ‘Falta Theke Palashi’, ‘Palashir Pore’ is an exceptional novel of a momentous point in Indian history. Thrilling in narration, fascinating in composition.
