Daughters of Nawab Alivardi Khan & Sharfunnesa Begum:

Ghaseti Begum married Nawazish Muhammad Khan, who was the governor of Dhaka, and was childless.

Maimuna Begum married Syed Ahmed Khan Sawlat Jung, who was the nephew of Nawab Alivardi Khan. They had a son, whose name was Shawkat Jung.

Amina Begum married Zain ud-Din Ahmed Khan, who was the governor of Patna. They had 2 sons, Ikram ud-Daulah & Siraj ud-Daulah.

During his rule, Nawab Alivardi Khan faced lots of battles & raids from the Marathas. Even Siraj ud-Daulah revolted against him, in 1750, and seized Patna. But, the revolt was suppressed and Siraj ud-Daulah was forgiven by his grandfather, Nawab Alivardi Khan. Once, he even saved Amina Begum, Ikram ud-Daulah & Siraj ud-Daulah from the Afghan revels of Mustafa Khan, who killed Nawazish Muhammad Khan in an attempt to take control of Bihar, and drove out the Afghan rebels, in 1751.

Ghaseti Begum adopted Ikram ud-Daulah, who died at a young age due to small pox. His death led to grief & death of Nawazish Muhammad Khan. After Nawab Alivardi Khan, Ghaseti Begum tried to enthrone Shawkat Jung, in place of Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah, but failed, which gave birth to her conspiracy against Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah.

Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah, during his rule, seized the wealth of Ghaseti Begum from Motijheel Palace and placed her under confinement. Along with this, Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah appointed Mir Madan as the paymaster of the army, replacing Mir Jafar. Mohanlal was also elevated to the rank of courtclerk. Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah even suppressed and killed Shaukat Jang in a battle. In June 1756, Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah captured Calcutta (now Kolkata) from the British East India Company and named it Alinagar. This event is referred as the Black Hole of Calcutta, which is taken as one of the causes of British anger against Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah. Thus, such incedents led to a successful conspiracy & treachery of Mir Jafar & many others, in the Battle of Plassey, when they all sided with Robert Clive.

Lutfunnisa Begum was a Brahmin by birth, whose original name was Rajkunwari, and used to serve Sharfunnesa Begum. Her name was changed to Lutfunnisa Begum after her marriage with Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah.

The defeat of Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah in the Battle of Plassey, gave birth to the British rule in India.

After the Battle of Plassey, the women of the house of Nawab Alivardi Khan, including Ghaseti Begum, Amina Begum, Lutfunnisa Begum and some others, were imprisoned in Jinjira Palace, which is situated in Keraniganj of present Bangladesh. Some of them were poisoned to death, whereas others, including Ghaseti Begum & Amina Begum, in 1760, were instructed to move to Murshidabad and, on the way, their boat was drowned in Buriganga River of present Bangladesh, which was ordered by Mir Miran.

Only Lutfunnisa Begum & Umme Zohra Begum were spared. During her stay in Jinjira Palace, Lutfunnisa Begum was tortured to get the location of the family jewels. Some say that Mir Jafar & his son each asked for her hand in marriage, which she refused. In 1765, Lutfunnisa Begum was released and brought back to Murshidabad. The British East India Company arranged a kind of pension for her living.

Some say that Umme Zohra Begum was married to Mir Asad Ali Khan Murad ud-Doulah, who was a nephew of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah. After marriage, Umme Zohra Begum was renamed as Qudsiyah Begum Sahiba.

Some say that Qudsiyah Begum Sahiba & Mir Asad Ali Khan Murad ud-Doulah had 4 daughters. Both of them died in 1774, leaving their 4 daughters to Lutfunnisa Begum. So, in March 1787, when Lutfunnisa Begum petitioned the British East India Company to increase her pension to meet the needs of her grand children, she was refused.

Lutfunnisa Begum used to visit Khoshbagh, every afternoon, with the recitations from the Quran and light candles, till her death on 10 November, 1790.

Some say that, after the Battle of Plassey, Mohanlal, who was a trusted friend & official of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah, fled away and took the son of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah & Aleya Begum to a safe place in Mymensingh of present Bangladesh, where the son was adopted by a hindu family and was named as Jugal Kishore Ray Chaudhury.

Bangladesh

Many years back, there were no Bangladesh. Bengal was a single province, consisting of present day West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, pasrts of Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Assam & Bangladesh.

On 16th July, 1905, Bengal was first divided into East Bengal (for majority Muslims) and West Bengal (for majority Hindus) by Lord Curzon. It lasted for 6 years. It is said that it was done on the basis of Divide & Rule policy of the British, dividing the Hindus & the Muslims. In 1911, Bengal was again reunited by King George V due to Swadeshi Movements & riots.

In 1947, at the time of independence & Partition Of India, Bengal was again divided into West Bengal of India & East Bengal of Pakistan. East Bengal was East Pakistan from around 1955 to 1971. After Bangladesh Liberation War (Muktijuddho in Bengali), in 1971, East Pakistan became Bangladesh.

Bangladesh Independence Day: 26th March, 1971

Today, Bangladesh is divided into 8 administrative divisions: Barisal, Chittagong, Dhaka (capital), Khulna, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, Rangpur & Sylhet.
