The '''Nawabs of Bengal''' (the Nawab Nizam of Bengal and Orissa) were the rulers of the provinces of [[Bengal]] and [[Orissa, India|Orissa]]. Between 1717 and 1772, they were the rulers of the province of [[Bengal]].

The last independent Nawab of Bengal, [[Siraj ud-Daulah]], was betrayed in the [[Battle of Plassey]] by [[Mir Jafar]]. He lost to the [[British Raj|British]], who in 1757, installed Mir Jafar on the throne and established itself as a political power in Bengal.<ref name="sirajbanglaped2">{{cite book |last1=Chaudhury |first1=Sushil |last2=Mohsin |first2=KM |year=2012 |chapter=Sirajuddaula |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Sirajuddaula |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=Asiatic Society of Bangladesh |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150614191817/http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Sirajuddaula |archivedate=14 June 2015 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

In 1765 the system of 'dual government' meant the Nawabs [[Princely state|ruled on behalf]] of the British, and were puppets to the British. In 1772 the system was abolished and Bengal was brought under direct control of the British. In 1793, when the ''Nizamat'' (governorship) of the Nawab was also taken away from them, they remained as the pensioners of the [[British East India Company]].<ref name="british2">{{cite book| last = Singh| first = Vipul| title = Longman History & Civics (Dual Government in Bengal| url = https://books.google.com/?id=75avUTXB11AC&pg=PA29| date = 2009| publisher = Pearson Education India| isbn = 978-81-317-2888-8| pages = 29– }}</ref><ref name="dualgovernment2">{{cite book| author = Editorial Board : Pratiyogita Darpan| title = Madhya Pradesh National Means-Cum-Merit Scholarship Exam (Warren Hasting's system of Dual Government| url = https://books.google.com/?id=QnyaLNskRfEC&pg=PA11| date = 2009| publisher = Upkar Prakashan| isbn = 978-81-7482-744-9| pages = 11– }}</ref> The last Nawab of Bengal, [[Mansur Ali Khan]] abdicated on 1 November 1880 in favour of his eldest son, [[Hassan Ali Mirza]].<ref name="l2">{{cite web|url=http://murshidabad.net/history/history-topic-feradun-jah.htm|title=Decline of the Nawabs of Bengal|date=8 May 2012|author=Murshidabad.net|accessdate=10 August 2012|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120902005536/http://murshidabad.net/history/history-topic-feradun-jah.htm|archivedate=2 September 2012|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
