My Family
It started since the Battle of Plassey in 1757. The last Sovereign Nowab of Bengal Siraj-Ud-Dawllah fought against the invader East India Company. The Nowab was defeated by the un-holly conspiracy made by the C-in-C Meer Zafar Ali Khan with the Commander of EIC Lord Clive. After the battle, two of the Nowab's loyal Generals escaped and rushed to the northern part of Bengal. One of the two was Mr Mahibullah Pradhan. He started to live in Kaliaganj Prgana (after few decades called as Thana) of Dinajpur. He was the fore-father of my family as we recognised.
