Palashi

Palashi (Bengali: পলাশী Palāśī PAW-lah-shih), also spelt Plassey, is a village in the Nadia district of West Bengal. It is best known as the site of the famous Battle of Plassey on 23 June 1757 between the last independent ruler of Bengal, Nawab Siraj ud-Daula (1756-1757) and the British forces under the command of Robert Clive. This battle marked the advent of British rule in the erstwhile Bengal and in India as a whole. The grounds where the historic Battle of Plassey was fought are today marked with shrines, obelisks and memorials to the fallen generals and soldiers of Siraj ud-Daula.
