Why was the battle of plassey an important event in Indian history?

Gerneral Robert Clive, under instructions from the British East India Company, with a mixed European-Indian force of some 2,500 men, defeated the army of Siraj-ud-Dawlah, the nawab (ruler) of Bengal, at the Battle of Plassey on June 23, 1757.As a result of this battle, Siraj-ad-daula was captured by Mir Jafar's soldiers when he tried to escape and later executed on order of Mir Jafar's son.Mir Jafar, who had signed a secret agreement with Robert Clive, replaced Siraj as nawab.The French were no longer a significant force in Bengal and the British became the significant European power in Bengal and the Carnatic, the two most profitable regions of India for European traders. Over the next 190 years, Britain went on to expand its power in India and Asia.Robert Clive was appointed Baron of Plassey in 1762 and Governor of Bengal in 1765.
