We are heading back to the Georgian era this week to begin the tale of a man who is arguably the single person most responsible for the British taking control of the Indian subcontinent for nearly 200 years.But how did the son of a minor country gentleman end up wielding such enormous power and influence? In this first part of the story of Robert Clive we will reflect on the trauma of his childhood and how this influenced his worldview. And how he found himself in the perfect place to quickly rise in the military ranks. Guest Host: Ollie Green Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Battle of Plassey in 1757 marked a crucial turning point for British colonialism in India, with Robert Clive's victory securing British control over Bengal. This event led to the East India Company's transition from traders to rulers and set the stage for British dominance across the Indian subcontinent.

Artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, and Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tamsin Hong of The Serpentine Galleries, coat London's historic statues and public monuments with fresh layers of history. For over 30 years, Yinka Shonibare CBE RA has used Western European art history to explore contemporary culture and national identities. With his iconic use of Dutch wax print fabric - inspired by Indonesian batik designs, mass-produced in the Netherlands (and now China) and sold to British colonies in West Africa - he troubles ideas of ‘authentic' ‘African prints'. Painting these colourful patterns on his smaller-scale replicas of sculptures of British figures like Winston Churchill, Robert Clive, and Robert Milligan, he engages with contemporary debates raised in Black Lives Matter (#BLM) and the toppling of slave trader Edward Colston's statue in Bristol. Suspended States, the artist's first London solo exhibition in over 20 years, puts these questions of cultural identity and whiteness, within the modern contexts of globalisation, economics, and art markets. Wind Sculptures speak to movements across borders, other works how architectures of power affect refuge, migration, and the legacies of imperialism in wars, conflict, and peace today. With his Library series, we read into Wole Soyinka, Bisi Silva, and canonised 17th, 18th, and 19th century artists like Diego Velázquez, focussing on Yinka's engagement with Pablo Picasso, modernism, and ‘primitivism'. Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tamsin Hong highlight the connection between the Serpentine's ecological work, and Yinka's new woodcuts and drawings which consider the impact of colonisation on the environment. As a self-described ‘post-colonial hybrid', Yinka details his diasporic social practices, including his Guest Project experimental space in Hackney, and G.A.S. Foundation in Nigeria, and collaborations with young artists and researchers like Leo Robinson, Péjú Oshin, and Alayo Akinkubye. Yinka Shonibare: Suspended States runs at the Serpentine Galleries in London until 1 September 2024. Yinka is also an Invited Artist, and participant in Nigeria Imaginary, the official Nigerian Pavilion, at the 60th Venice Biennale, which runs until 24 November 2024.

Elon Musk made his money leading and shaping the latest advances in society but now he's dabbling in politics on the global stage – unelected and unaccountable but with the power to hold one-to-one meetings with world leaders as he did just last week with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who flew to California to meet the tech billionaire in person. Two commercial figures in history also took on the roles of unofficial diplomats and international influencers - Henry Ford, a car maker like Elon Musk, and a man who used his pioneering industrial might for political ends; and Robert Clive, the C18th imperialist and privateer whose actions under the guise of the East India Company brought him influence locally and internationally on the back of the new opportunities of empire. Historians: Adam Smith, Professor of US Politics and Political History at University of Oxford Chandrika Kaul, Professor of Modern History at University of St Andrews Reader: John Lightbody Producer: Mohini Patel

Yes, Robert Clive is certainly about to bring home the bacon big time. Then there won’t be much at all to slow down the British merchants from making big piles of cash.

WE'RE BACK! And coming to you from an estate outside Delhi, where Sean met author and historian William Dalrymple to talk (finally) about the early pirates, privateers and downright gangsters of the East India Company—a band of barely-legal spice merchants that wound up being just about the richest people on the planet, and owners—yes, owners—of an entire continent. We also dig into the life and times of Robert Clive, a brooding, violent man who would become one of the world's richest non-royals, and whose marauding exploits on the Indian subcontinent have made him a lightning rod for the cultures of Britain and modern India. War, loot, organized crime and weirdly enough, a Sliding Doors story for the mayflower. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Every once in a while, you read a book, watch a gripping movie or a TV show; and you ask yourself the question, “Was that a true story?”And then you spend hours googling the hell out of it. How great would it be if you could not find the answer and not be able to reach a conclusion!As every great storyteller knows, the better you tell a story the more you make it come to life. Conversely, even if you tell a real story poorly, it will not ring true.Let's meet a great storyteller now.My guest is author Sudipta Sen Gupta. She used to be a top level marketing executive turned academic, historian and author. Her debut novel is titled, Aasma-i-Noor. In Persian it loosely means A Sky of Light or even, a Universe of Light...depending on how expansive you're feeling today.Aasma-i-Noor is a diamond. It is a rare, red diamond that came from the Kollur mine in Golconda, the same mine that gave us the Koh-i-Noor (means Mountain Of Light) and Darya-i-Noor (meaning Sea Of Light). All great names…clearly all tributes to Total Internal Refraction.In Sudipta's novel, the history of this diamond is linked to the heart of the events surrounding the rise and fall of Siraj-ud-Daulah and his chief nemesis Robert Clive.And around this time is the last anyone heard of the Aasma-i-Noor, leaving the question: was this whole bloody pivotal point in the history of India caused by the fascination of a few men for a gemstone?Artfully, the story spills into the present day with a couple of treasure hunters in Kolkata finding clues from history to be able to locate this diamond. At this point, the novel suddenly takes on the rush of a Dan Brown thriller and I will leave the rest for you to read.As for separating history from historical fiction, I have rarely read this done in so deft a manner. It is every debut novelist's aspiration that their debut novel must set the world on fire. If Aasma-i-Noor doesn't do that, it is the fault of the world.That said, I am privileged to have Sudipta here as my guest today.ABOUT SUDIPTA SEN GUPTASudipta Sen Gupta is an associate professor in the School of Management at GD Goenka University. After completing her graduation in physics from Presidency College, Kolkata, and MBA from Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Delhi University, she worked in senior corporate management roles for over 20 years. She helped build multiple well-known brands and powered multinational organizations to success, winning several national and global awards and recognitions along the way. In 2017, she decided to leave the corporate world and join academics, allowing her time to complete her PhD and return to her first love—Indian history.

This one covers :European grand strategy with a focus on the opening of the naval war and the execution of Admiral Byng.  The Prussian part of the war in significant detail with focus on Frederick's two miracles.The War in India, including the Battle of Plessey and the attempted attack on Bengal by the VOC.  The Black Hole of Calcutta serves as impetus for the EIC to conquer Bengal, though it seems Robert Clive's conspiracy with Mir Jaffar was possibly already underway.There is a digression on the Russian intervention against Prussia focusing in on the parts of the military enlightenment Russia had just not caught up with.  Logistics.With Camie there is a discussion of whether Russia is barbaric at this time.  I argue that from the miracle lens, i.e. were they going forward to creating the Industrial Revolution? Russia was barbaric.

The summer of 1857 changed the course of Indian history. For over a century, the East India Company had been expanding its territorial economic control over India. The Company used coercion, deception, and cooption, and appeared invincible. But beneath the surface of deceptive calm, there was discontent against what was the foreign corporate rule. From soldiers to peasants, princely rulers to landlords, Hindus to Muslims, the most unlikely of allies came together to wage the most powerful rebellion that the nation had seen. The British, with the utmost cruelty, succeeded in repressing the uprising. But Company Raj ended, giving way to the Crown. In this episode, William Dalrymple, the author of The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty, Delhi 1857, joins HT to discuss the Mutiny, its roots, its significance, and how it changed the British colonial architecture in India.

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘festival'? Is it music? Maybe it's film. Or could it be food? Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times: from Taste of London, in Regent's Park each June to Aldeburgh Food Festival in Suffolk in September. Whatever your taste, there's a food festival to match – no matter how specialised.当你听到“节日”这个词时，你会想到什么？是音乐吗？也许是电影。或者它可能是食物？美食节在英国很常见，在各种地方和各种时间举行：从每年 6 月在摄政公园举行的伦敦美食节到 9 月在萨福克举行的奥尔德堡美食节。无论您的口味如何，总有一个美食节可以匹配——无论多么专业。Are you a bit of a carnivore? Then why not try Meatopia. This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of ethically sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to succulent steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demos, and attend informal meat-based workshops.你是个肉食动物吗？那为什么不试试 Meatopia。这个为期三天的伦敦节日于八月底举行，是肉食爱好者的天堂。除了一系列符合道德标准的肉类产品，从多汁的汉堡到多汁的牛排，与会者还可以聆听现场音乐、观看屠宰演示，并参加非正式的肉类研讨会。If you prefer a festival that will help you meet your five a day, then Vegfest is for you. This vegan-friendly event takes place in a range of UK venues several times a year. Here you can enjoy a wide selection of freshly prepared vegan food, learn culinary tips and hear talks on nutrition to help you make the most of your plant-based grub.如果您喜欢一个可以帮助您每天满足五个人的节日，那么 Vegfest 适合您。这项对素食主义者友好的活动每年在英国的一系列场所举行几次。在这里，您可以享用各种新鲜烹制的纯素食品，学习烹饪技巧并聆听营养讲座，以帮助您充分利用植物性食物。If that weren't niche enough, what about a festival that is dedicated solely to marmalade? Held in Cumbria, this tangy, zesty festival of preserves has been running for 13 years. It includes a competition to find the best homemade marmalade. There are thousands of entries from over 30 different countries across the globe.如果这还不够小众，那么一个专门用于果酱的节日呢？在坎布里亚郡举行的这个浓郁、令人兴奋的蜜饯节已经举办了 13 年。它包括一场寻找最好的自制果酱的比赛。有来自全球 30 多个不同国家/地区的数千个参赛作品。If you'd prefer something with a little more kick to it, then you could attend The Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. It celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger. Because of this, they specialise in baking gingerbread, but also sell a range of artisan spices from mild to hot.如果您更喜欢更刺激的东西，那么您可以参加在 Market Drayton 举办的 The Ginger and Spice Festival。它庆祝该镇与罗伯特·克莱夫 (Robert Clive) 的历史联系，后者带着生姜从印度返回。正因为如此，他们专门烘焙姜饼，但也出售从温和到热的一系列工匠香料。If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind, is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts over 2000 entrants to their traditional competition, and offers lectures and workshops on beekeeping and, of course, that gooey, syrupy golden nectar, honey.如果您爱吃甜食，那么 1921 年开始的全国蜂蜜展是同类活动中规模最大的一次，可能是您的最佳去处。这个为期三天的活动吸引了 2000 多名参赛者参加他们的传统比赛，并提供有关养蜂业的讲座和研讨会，当然还有那些粘稠的、糖浆般的金色花蜜和蜂蜜。While there's no accounting for taste, the UK has something to offer most people. From large-scale festivities, to the smaller more amateur gatherings, one thing is certain: people are passionate about their food. And while some of the products on offer might be an acquired taste, when food is given that much attention, it's unlikely to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth.虽然没有考虑品味，但英国可以为大多数人提供一些东西。从大型庆祝活动到规模较小的业余聚会，有一件事是确定的：人们对他们的食物充满热情。虽然提供的一些产品可能是后天习得的味道，但当食物受到如此多的关注时，不太可能在任何人的嘴里留下不好的味道。词汇表taste（个人的）品味carnivore 食肉动物meat lover 爱吃肉的人ethically-sourced “良心供货”，指食品商在采购、制作等过程中重视生产线劳动者工作环境的准则juicy 多汁的succulent 鲜美多汁的five a day（由英国政府倡议的）“每日最少吃五份蔬菜”的饮食标准vegan-friendly（食物）适宜严格素食者食用的；不含任何动物成分的freshly prepared 新鲜配制的culinary 烹调的，烹饪的grub（口语说法）食物marmalade 橘子酱tangy 香浓可口的zesty 果香四溢的preserve（可长期保存的食物）蜜饯，果酱kick（食物、饮料的）刺激，劲儿artisan 以传统方式制作的mild 味道柔和的hot 辛辣的sweet tooth 爱吃甜食的gooey 软而黏的syrupy 甜而粘稠的，糖浆般的there's no accounting for taste 人和人的口味是不一样的，人各有所好an acquired taste（后天）慢慢养成的嗜好leave a bad taste in one's mouth 留下不愉快的记忆

L'affacciarsi dei primi navigatori occidentali sulle coste del subcontinente era destinato a cambiare integralmente la storia dell'India, un paese tanto più ricco, evoluto e popoloso finirà per soccombere ad un dominio venuto da lontano. I primi ad arrivare furono i portoghesi all'inizio del XVI secolo, gli inglesi approdarono in India solo cento anni più tardi, ma furono lesti a sbarazzarsi di tutti gli altri concorrenti europei. Fino all'inizio del 1700 la presenza inglese in India fu di natura esclusivamente commerciale, affidata ad una società privata, la “East Indian Company”, poi grazie alle imprese di un geniale avventuriero, Robert Clive, la Compagnia prese ad esercitare il controllo politico di sempre più vaste aree del Paese, fino a completarne la conquista, sia direttamente, sia tramite governi di facciata, nella prima metà dell'ottocento; l'India è forse l'unico esempio di impero fondato da una compagnia commerciale.Proprio quando la situazione degli inglesi sembrava inattaccabile, esplose la rivolta dei soldati dell'esercito coloniale, i sepoys, rivolta che scosse dalle fondamenta il dominio inglese in India.

The second of our Two Young Men Unleashed, after James Wolfe, is Robert Clive. He too was of minor gentry background, but the resemblance ends there. His childhood was marked by some violence, courage, and even criminality: he ran a protection racket for a time. These qualities served him well as he emerged as an unexpectedly gifted soldier in the service, not of Britain, but of the British East India Company, using military force as well as bribery to advance its interests, and his own, in the subcontinent. In this way, he helped turn India into a source of colossal wealth for the shareholders of the company, while also making a massive fortune for himself, even though it reduced the people from whom that wealth was being sucked, to dire poverty and even famine. His lack of scruples fits with an adolescence marked by violence and criminality. Or, to put it differently, that past fits well with the nature of the imperial power he helped launch. Driven by profit, it treated all other concerns as secondary. And the Indians paid the price.

Despite pressure from activists, local council votes to keep the statue of Robert Clive in Shrewsbury, U.K.

Modernity is many things. Urbanization, industrialization, technologization. At its simplest, it's a project of supposed improvement, science, and progress. As a project, then, modernity seeks to expand itself. If improvements can be made, they should be made. Exploration was at the heart of the modern expansionist drive that began in earnest in the 17th century. But why then? Why not before? What shifts in psychology led to this new attitude in Europe about an unexplored world? We can sometimes see shifts in the most unexpected places. In the early modern period, philosophers like Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, and Adam Smith, began to reinterpret morality as the pursuit of pleasure, power, and profit. In 1747 Jean-Jacques Burlham wrote that ‘Now let man reflect but ever so little on himself, he will soon perceive that everything he does is with a view of happiness'. By 1776, Adam Smith could write that “It is not from the benevolence (kindness) of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." Since, the scientific revolution it was beginning to be assumed that human nature was calculable, scientific, had simple principles, that people act in rational and predictable ways. Happiness, pleasure, utility, whatever it was, was pursued, stored up, or, to use a word that the utilitarian Jeremy Bentham invented in 1817, maximized. How did this have an effect on world history? On the mentalities and psychology of people in the West. We explore the links between modern philosophy and British Imperial, particularly through William Dalrymple's book on the rise of the East India Company and the decline of the Mughal Empire – the Anarchy. The history looks at the life of the megalomaniacal Robert Clive, the idea of Gentlemanly Capitalism, theories of Imperialism, and, most horrifyingly, the Great Indian Bengal Famine of 1770, where a third of the population of Bengal died.

Note: Our friend Rupen Paul for The Right Room podcast helped us a lot in researching Robert Clive. So, go check out his podcast or find him on his socials here. After the Battle of Plassey, the British East India Company under the leadership of Robert Clive realised that they can administer the Indian colony and expand their territories and improve their profits. This led to a series of new policies which resulted in many battles. Battle of Buxar (23 June 1764) Fought against the British under Major Hector Munro by Mir Qasim, Shuja-ud-Daulah of Avadh and Shah Alam II of Mughal Mir Qasim fled the battlefield and later committed suicide The Allies are defeated and Mir Jaffer is again crowned as the puppet Nawab The company did not want to indulge in the administration of the country They wanted to expand their settlements to improve the trade They began involving in the affairs of the Princely States to achieve this objective They began appointing Residents in all the Princely States to look after the relationship and trade between the company and the State The company wanted to use political, economic and diplomatic methods to extend their influence With the residents, the company decides who would be the successor and also who should be appointed in administrative posts in these Princely States Robert Clive chose Warren Hastings as the British Resident for Bengal in 1758 Warren Hastings was one of the prisoners of Siraj-ud-Daulah during his campaign in Fort William Robert Clive left India in 1760 amassing massive wealth Clive returned to India in 1765 after the Battle of Buxar and was appointed the Governor of Bengal After the death of Mir Jaffer in 1765, the tone of the company changed Clive wrote a letter to the company chairman that they should become the nawab themselves In the same year, the dual system of governance was introduced Dual System of Bengal (1765-1772): The East India Company set up a dual system of Diwan and Nizam The Diwan was selected by the company for revenue collection for them and the Nizam to rule the region The company basically took over the defence administration and left the nawab with the civil administration This happened under the Mughal emperor, Shah Alam II who was forced to allow the company to collect taxes from Bengal, Bihar and Orissa In return, the company paid an annual tribute to the Emperor The revenue received from these regions were used to buy merchandise from India and the returns would go to England Thus the company became economically self-sufficient in India - Thus began the British loot of India The Regulating Act of 1773 The act brought the three provinces under one rule and established the governor-general of India By 1772, the company acquired Bombay and Madras, too, as their presidencies Warren Hastings (1773-1785) became the first Governor-General of Bengal in 1771 and the Governor-General of India in 1773 The Great Famine of 1770 (almost 10 million deaths) brought about a need to change the system in the colonies The share prices of the company plummet and the British Government had to bail out the company Hastings' Judicial Plan of 1772 created Faujdhari (criminal) and Diwani Adalat in the districts of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa Each district had a district collector - he had the power of administrator, judge and magistrate The Kazis and pandits translated the local laws to the officials This created a fair justice system and it led to the present-day District Administrative System It helped correct the defects and retain the local traditions of the courts and law in the regions But it also this led to unsatisfactory judgements due to the bias of Kazis and pandits In 1773, a Supreme Court was established in Fort William It was set up due to the dilemma the British government was in due to the importance of the company but their need to stop corruption Want for expansion After Bombay and Madras presidency, the British wanted to ex

The French came into play relatively late in comparison with the British, Dutch and Portuguese. They established themselves in colonial India in the second half of the 17th Century and occupied their post until 1954. They produced rice, peanuts, betel nuts, and vegetables. Their major establishments in India were Pondicherry, Karaikal, Yanam (Andra Pradesh) on Coromandel Coast and Mahe on the Malabar Coast and Chandernagor in Bengal. By the time the French came to India, other colonial powers had multiple trading stations and ports set up. Their customs barriers, belief systems, inexperience in such large investments are quoted as some reasons for their late entry in the trade. The first French East India Company was set up under Henry IV in 1603 but didn't have any settlements. The second was set up in 1642, but it took its proper shape only in 1664 with the help of Jean Baptist Caillouet under Louis XIV. The company gained a monopoly for the next 50 years. The company was given the go-ahead to trade in Madagascar (a fertile land for agriculture). But it took up a lot of resources and they dropped the idea in a few years to concentrate on India. The duties of the company were handled by Francois Caron who previously worked with the Dutch East India Company for 30 years and reached the post of Governor-General. Factories were opened in Surat in 1668, Masulipatnam in 1669, and Bantam, Indonesian. And in 1673 with the permission of Mughal in Chandernagore. They established their stronghold in Pondicherry by 1674. Pondicherry was obtained from the Sultan of Bijapur. In 1701, Pondicherry was made the headquarters of French East India Company. Dutch had seized Pondicherry from the French in the 1690s, but they took it back in 6 years through the Treaty of Ryswick. But the Dutch held their garrison in Pondicherry for another two years before leaving, eventually. (The Peace of Ryswick, or Rijswijk, was a series of treaties signed in the Dutch city of Rijswijk between 20 September and 30 October 1697. They ended the Nine Years' War which took place from 1688 to 1697 between France, and the Grand Alliance, which included England, Spain, Emperor Leopold, and the Dutch Republic.) The War of Spanish Succession in Europe led to French losing many of their factories in India. As the Dutch left Mauritius in 1715, the French replaced them there. Later they took over Seychelles and Chagos Islands. By 1718 they had to leave Surat, Masulipatnam and Bantam factories because they were not able to compete with the Dutch and the British. The company was combined with John Law's Mississippi company in 1719. Its purpose was to run both the west and east Indian companies. But the company dissolved in a year. In 1723, the company restarted and set up their factories in Yanam in Andhra Pradesh, Mahe, and Karaikal. They worked under the name of “The Perpetual Company of the Indies”. They rose in power from 1720-1742 under the leadership of governors Pierre Christophe Le Noir and Pierre Benoît Dumas backed by the possession of Mauritius and the Southern Indian Ocean. The political situation in South India was weak during the 1740s. The princely states were busy fighting each other, leaving the colonial power to conquer territories that were left without much protection such as the Coromandel Coast. (Hyderabad battling Marathas) Joseph François Dupleix (most successful general), after he arrived in 1741, wanted to create a French empire in India. This clashed with the interest of the British. They extended their empire from Hyderabad to Kanyakumari. But the dream of further expansion was squashed by the arrival of British Governor, Robert Clive. Dupleix was sent back to France after the peace talks failed. The British and the French got too much into the political scene of India leading to a conflict between them - Carnatic Wars (1740-1748). Seven-year war - French and British - 1756-1763 - it is also referred to as Zero World War. In 175
