Who signed the treaty of Alinagar with the British?

Answer

Correct Answer : b ) Siraj-ud-Daulah

Explanation :

On 9 February 1757, the Treaty of Alinagar, also called as Treaty of Calcutta, was signed between Robert Clive of the British East India Company and Mirza Muhammad Siraj ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal.

Alinagar was the short-lived name given after the capture of Calcutta by the Nawab.

The Nawab seized the English fort at Calcutta, but faced with the threat of the Afghans in the rear and the military might of the British, he signed the treaty.

Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
