==Mir Madan==
[[Mir Madan]] was one of the most trusted officers and chief of the artillery of [[Nawab Siraj Ud Dowla]]. On 23 June 1757, in the [[Battle of Plassey]], Mir Madan fought for the [[Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad|Nawab]] whereas Commander-in-chief [[Mir Jafar]] and others remained standstill. Madan's troops caused a serious pressure on the forces of the [[East India Company]]. At 2 pm on that day, he was mortally wounded by a British [[Round shot|cannonball]] and died. His two fellow figters, Nawe Singh Hajari and Bahadur Khan, also died.<ref>{{Cite book |author1=Subodhchandra Sengupta |author2=Anjali Basu |year=2002 |title=Sansad Bengali Charitavidhan |volume=Vol. 1 |location=Kolkata |publisher=Sahitya Sansad |language=bn |pages=417 |isbn=81-85626-65-0}}</ref>

Some cadres of his troop buried him secretly in Faridpur village, [[Murshidabad district]] (P.S. Rejinagar) near the [[Palashi]] battlefield.
