IN SEARCH OF SIRAJ'S SON AND DESCENDANTS - 1 - Kolkata parul 2015/12/01 - 96
The groundbreaking research by Professor Amalendu De not only unfolds the “discovery” of the hitherto unknown“male heir”of the last sovereign ruler of Bengal but proves that the descendants of the first adversary of the British Empire are presently active members of modern India society.
Siraj-ud-Daulah
Some key facts related to the Battle of Plassey were believed to be missing. A reputed Professor of History started looking for them almost half a century ago. He meticulously examined all the available sources including books and journals published from India and England. Even the contemporary records preserved by the Government of India were of no help.
Undeterred, he went on hunting for them in the family records of the 18th century. From the plethora of moth eaten papers, he finally selected and then short listed only those that recorded the adoption of male heirs by Zamindar families in or after 1757. Some crucial information, meanwhile was traced back in a book called Mymensingher Itihas(The History of Mymensingh). Following the trail the Professor unearthed a truth of groundbreaking significance.
