1760 in India

The year 1760 in India marked a significant period in the subcontinent's colonial history, characterized by the ongoing power struggles between the British East India Company and various regional rulers. This period witnessed the aftermath of the pivotal Battle of Plassey (1757), which had established British dominance in Bengal. The year also saw the consolidation of British control over strategic territories, further exacerbating tensions with the Maratha Empire and the Nawab of Bengal. The rise of notable figures such as Chhatrapati Shahu II of the Marathas and the shifting alliances among Indian princely states contributed to a complex political landscape. Additionally, this period was marked by socio-economic changes, including the impact of European trade and cultural exchanges.
