The '''Treaty of Alinagar''' was signed on 9 February 1757 between [[Robert Clive]] of the [[British East India Company]] and the [[Nawab]] of [[Bengal]], [[Siraj Ud Daulah|Mirza Muhammad Siraj Ud Daula]].<ref>[https://books.google.co.jp/books?id=d1wUgKKzawoC&pg=PA230&lpg=PA230&dq=Delhi+july+1757&source=bl&ots=HLSZd3ahWh&sig=HYL-pTBARcMJR1aaGF2wH595yM4&hl=ja&sa=X&ei=IsdcVP_HL4r58QWho4CQBw#v=onepage&q=Delhi%20Jan%201757&f=false Advanced Study in the History of Modern India 1707-1813]</ref> Alinagar was the short-lived name given to Calcutta given by the Nawab after it was captured by him. The Nawab had seized the [[Fort William, India|English fort]] at [[Kolkata|Calcutta]], but facing the threat of Afghans in the rear and the military might of the English, he signed the treaty.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Treaty of Alinagar {{!}} Great Britain-India [1757]|url=https://www.britannica.com/event/Treaty-of-Alinagar|access-date=2020-09-21|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
Based on the terms of the accord, the Nawab would recognize all the provisions of [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Farrukh Siyar]]'s ''[[farman (decree)|farman]]'' of 1717. Moreover, all [[Great Britain|British]] goods that passed through Bengal would be exempt from [[duty|duties]]. In other tenets of the agreement, the British would not be hindered from fortifying [[Calcutta]], as well as mint coins in Calcutta. The signing of the treaty was one of the events leading up to the famous [[Battle of Plassey]]. The Nawab was defeated and killed by Clive and his allies the same year.<br />
