520 _a"Memoirs of the Revolution in Bengal, Anno Dom. 1757" by Watts is a historical account written in the mid-18th century. This work details the political upheaval and conflicts involving the East India Company, the forces of a newly appointed Suba (governor) named Suraja Dowlat, and other European powers in Bengal. The book explores the critical events surrounding the rise of Meer Jaffeir to power, as well as the impact of British actions and policies during this tumultuous period. At the start of the memoirs, Watts outlines the conditions leading to the revolution, emphasizing the extraordinary circumstances that made this upheaval crucial for both the East India Company and British interests in the region. He introduces Suraja Dowlat, who, upon ascending to power, displays violent hostility towards the British, spurred by a mix of personal ambition and misguided counsel. The initial events depict Dowlat's aggressive actions against the English in Calcutta, his subsequent challenges, and the political machinations that ensue as various factions vie for power and influence in Bengal, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of colonial dynamics and conflicts in the unfolding narrative.
