Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : English factory at Kasim Bazar

The correct answer is English factory at Kasim Bazar.

  • Siraj-ud-Daulah seized the English factory at Kasim Bazar, marched on to Calcutta, and occupied Fort William on 20 June 1756.

  • Siraj Ud Daulah's Army attacked the British factory of Cossimbazar (now Kasim Bazar), which was situated within a few km of Murshidabad.
  • Mr. Watts was the chief at this factory, and he had constantly represented to the government at Calcutta that it was untenable.

  • By 1623, the English East India Company had established factories at Surat, Broach, Ahmedabad, Agra, and Masulipatam.
  • In 1698, the Company acquired the zamindari of the three villages Sutanati, Kalikata, and Govindpur where the English built Fort William around its factory.
    • These villages soon grew into a city, which came to be known as Calcutta (now Kolkata).
