Subject: Modern History

Alivardi Khan
Siraj-ud-Daulah
Mir Qasim
Mir Jafar

Explanation: Mir Qasim (1760-1763 AD) was the Nawab of Bengal and transferred his capital from Murshidabad to Munger in 1762 AD. He did this to distance himself from the conspiratorial environment of Murshidabad and to minimize British interference from Calcutta. Extra Info: Mir Qasim also established a cannon and gun factory in Munger and attempted to reorganize his army on European lines, which eventually became a cause for the Battle of Buxar in 1764.
