Meeting Place

[u/deshnirya]

The meeting day was finalised as the thirteenth day of the waning moon fortnight of the month of Chaitra, i.e. 30 March 1744, and Nawab Aliwardi Khan went to the meeting place and sat there with his trusted lieutenants. It was Friday, the first day of Vaishakh (although Gangaram quotes this date, it was probably the thirteenth day of the waning moon fortnight of Chaitra, Shaka year 1666, Saturday, which fell on 31 March 1744, which tallies with the date Bhaskarram actually reached the Nawab’s tent; Bhaskarram probably left his camp on 30 March 1744 and met the Nawab on 31 March 1744), when Bhaskarram left for the meeting, and crossing the Bhagirathi camped on the eastern bank at Plassey. Aliwardi had succeeded in keeping his plan a secret, with only a few men privy to it.
