The chronological order of the events is as follows:
1. Invasion of Nadir Shah: 1739
2. Third Battle of Panipat: 1761
3. The Diwani of Bengal transferred to the East India Company: 1765 (following the Battle of Buxar and the Treaty of Allahabad)
4. Impeachment of Warren Hastings: 1788-1795 (Proceedings began in 1788)
Arranging these dates chronologically gives the order 2-1-4-3.
Understanding key dates of significant events in 18th-century Indian history is crucial for chronological arrangement questions.
Nadir Shah’s invasion weakened the Mughal Empire significantly. The Third Battle of Panipat further fragmented the power structure, paving the way for new regional powers. The grant of Diwani rights over Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha gave the East India Company immense financial and administrative power. Warren Hastings was the first Governor-General of Bengal and faced impeachment charges in the British Parliament related to his conduct in India.
