In 1746, the Independent Nawabs of Bengal and the Maratha Empire fought each other at the Battle of Midnapore.
Background
[edit]Due to continuous raids by the Marathas a proposal of peace was brought forward where the Delhi emperor (Mughal emperor) promised to pay 10 lakhs of annual chauth to Rajah Shahu for the Bengal Subah. Alivardi Khan not being very fond of the proposal, argued that the proposal would only be just, if Shahu effectually kept Raghuji Bhonsle out of Bengal rather than merely ordering him to do so.[2]
Battle
[edit]The battle was commanded by Alivardi Khan's general, Mir Jafar and Mir Habib's lieutenant Sayyid Nur[2] who was joined by Janoji Bhonsle of the Maratha Empire close to Midnapore Town. Mir Jafar won a decisive battle against Mir Habib.[3][4][2]
The main Maratha force joined Mir Habib, who had come up from Balasore. As a result Mir Jafar retreated to Burdwan where Alivardi Khan defeated the Janonji lead Marathas in the Battle of Burdwan.[3][5]
