Sheo Bhatt's invasions of Bengal: Difference between revisions

Alarmed by the situation, the British dispatched Aga Muhammad Ali and Ghulam Mustafa Munshi to the Marathas, promising to address the chauth payments if they refrained from supporting Mir Qasim. This assurance was confirmed by Vansittart, the British Governor of [[Bengal]], who wrote to Sheo Bhatt, promising to settle all arrears of chauth if the Maratha forces did not join Mir Qasim's troops. Convinced, Sheo Bhatt ceased his support for [[Mir Qasim]]. Following the British victory over [[Mir Qasim]], Sheo Bhatt congratulated them, hoping that a closer relationship would lead to a resolution of the chauth issue. However, he was unable to secure a settlement with the British during his tenure as governor.
