A Marwari businessman lived in Dhaka named Manik Chand, originally
from Jodhpur. He was the first of the famous "Seths" who funded British invaders.
Manik Chand accompanied
Murshid Quli to Murshidabad in 1704 and became the Chief Banker by funding Hindu genocide in Deccan.
In 1715, the idiot Mughal Badshah Farrukhsiyar gave Chand the title ‘Seth’. Chand adopted a
nephew named Fateh Chand who took over the firm in 1722.

In 1724, Emperor Muhammad Shah conferred
highest title of Jagat Seth or ‘Banker of the World’ to Fateh Chand.
Jagat Seths thus became a powerful banking family in 18th century
Bengal.
Then begins the story why Jagat Seth Chand came to despise
Bangāli Nawab Sarfaraz Khan.

Then begins the story why Jagat Seth Chand came to despise
Bangāli Nawab Sarfaraz Khan.
Fateh Chand Jagat Seth was the counsellor to Bangāli Nawab Shuja-ud-
Din and continued the same office in Sarfaraz’s reign. However, Sarfaraz was
a philanderer like his father, and when he heard of the beauty of Fateh
Chand’s son's wife, he expressed a desire to "see" her.

It was a demand that should be a great insult to the Jagat Seth. But Holwell stated clearly the Jagat Seth could
not resist the demand.
He had to fulfil his master's perversion, which was obvious much more than "seeing" the woman.
Honour and Women's dignity could go to hell.

The young girl was carried in greatest secrecy in night to visit
him. She was returned the same night, after Sarfaraz had fulfilled his Ganga-Jamuna tehzeebs, so nobody noticed it.
The damage to her was such
neither her or her husband could ever engage in any relations again.

The indignity
was never forgotten by Jagat Seth.
Fateh Chand was furious, and he soon joined Alivardi Khan's brother Haji Ahmed against Sarfaraz Khan.
Around this time Afsharids had invaded Delhi.
So Fateh Chand & Haji Ahmad had a fake khutba read out in name of Nadir Shah.

So Fateh Chand & Haji Ahmad had a fake khutba read out in name of Nadir Shah.
The reports of Khutba, with Bangāl Subāh under Sarfaraz Khan submitting to Nadir Shah's rule when he had not even annexed the Mughal authority, made the idiot Mughal Badshah Muhammad Shah Rangila furious and he condemned Sarfaraz Khan.
Traitor Alivardi Khan could strike now.

The desh-drohi, bahu-vyapari Jagat Seth thus arranged Alivardi Khan's ascension, who betrayed his master Sarfaraz.
The offices were rearranged, tribute to Delhi Government (and to the Hindu Marathas) was slowed down to a trickle, and mass-rapine began under usurper Alivardi.

Escaping from the capital city of Cuttack in March 1741,
Diwan Mir Habib made his way to Nagpur, the capital of Raghuji Bhonsle.
Here, he met the great Maratha Senasahebsubah Raghujiraje's Diwan Bhaskarram Pandit and briefed him of
Alivardi Khan’s despotism over Bangāl.

Thus the battle began to crush the traitors.
The Burdwan Opium township under Abu Rai was another key ally of Alivardi.
Abu Rai established opium cultivations while helping Mughals sexually abuse Bangalī women in his duty as a Kotwal, forcing them to serve himself & his peons.

These were the so-called "Hindus" attacked and plundered by the Maratha Empire forces.
Hindu Supremacy means supremacy of a Hindu Government.
A Government with Hindu Bureaucrats, with money spent on Hindu interests, and resources enjoyed by Hindus.

The reason for mentioning castes and ethnicities is not to provoke any modern hatred.
Our stand here is against regionalism where Maratha Empire soldiers are blamed by Bangālīs for ruining the situation in Bangāl.
It was already ruined beyond salvation.

When Marwari Baniya, Vilayati Nawab, Punjabi Khatri, Bihari Pathan, and the Marathas become Kartā-Dhartā of far-off Bangāl's destiny, then its a seal on the Sahishnu status of a land.
In such a case one must swallow their ego and look at higher matters dispassionately.
