Explanation:

The East India Company’s army was in sole control of its defence and the supreme political power was also in its hands. The Nawab depended for its
internal and external security on the British.The consequences for the people were disastrous as the Company’s servants had now the whole Bengal to themselves and the oppression of the people increased greatly. The Company used political power to discourage the silk industry in Bengal, for the silk fabrics of Bengal competed with those manufactured in England in the England markets.
