Fiction of the truth.....

I was a small entrepenaur of Calcutta. I used to sellvegetables in the crowded lanes of the

city. People from different states used to come here. Thecity was very prosporus. But that

horrific day I am going to tell you..... Now listen to mystory everyone....if you have heart.

It was like normal day, I woke up at five o clockmorning, it was part of my daily routine all

things were as usual, but I was unaware of the fact thatit was the day when Kalikata will

come under black clouds... I took my thela or in english we say cart on which Iused to sell

vegetables. As usual the market was full of public tillseven o clock all other shpkeepers

were ready with their shops in which the stuffs will keptin the way that they will look most

attractive in the market... Oh! Sorry I forgotten to tellyou two most important things, first

the date, which was 1717.. and our ruler's name MurshidQuli Khan. Now I will continue

with my story....So that day's afternoon we got amessenger from Mughal sultanate, he

announced- “ Sultan Farruksiyar has given the East IndiaCompany to duty free trade in

India”.

Now I will give a little introduction to East IndiaCompany. It was mercantile company

which came to India for buying traditional Indian stuffwhich are native to India and sell it

very high prices in their country so called 'England.'Now to continue with the story....

Farruksiyar was a weak ruler he never looked at hissultanate from

his accession till today. This weakness of the ruler proved milestone to theCompany.... the started

to make a fort at the the bank of river Hoogli. They puttheir private force and ammunitions without

prior pemission of nawab there. Soon after that Quli Khandied, his son Siraj-ud-Daulah ascended

the throne of Nawab, he had a respet in province....hewas dedicated to his state..but his powers did

not worked against company...He was angered with theadvancing of British in his province, he

asked them publicaly to put down thier fortification, butthey didn't agreed, I remember that day

when the royal horses marched to Fort William, with royalguards and his majesty, they entered the

fort and captured it, they declared their authority onfort and put some hundred men in a small room

for whole night, at morning few of them survived, thissuccsses of nawab didn't live much long...

soon East India Company called one of their most ableGeneral Robert Clive, he was a clever as

well as intellignet man his personality showed how hecould handle situation, on a very day

Comapny's force under guidence of Robert Clive capturedfort once a gain from authority of

Nawab, nawab was badly defeated in that fight. Nawab wastaken to his palace and was forced to

sign a treaty called treaty of Alinagar. But Britisherswere not satisfied with this defeat of Nawab

hey want to throw out nawab form his throne completely.They tried tooth to nail for this

purpose..eveyday they would go to royal palace or houseof nawab's corrupt nobles....they try to win

over them... but the heveans fell when they won over mindof one of nawab's most important noble,

his general of his army 'Mir Jafar'.... we thought he wasintellignet man but he was fooled very

easily... he was judgemental in his decision.

British East India company declared war on Nawab whichwas to be

held at Plashi, the Britishers named the battle as thebattle of Plassey, plassey was anglicised version

of name Plashi. When Nawab gathered hishe also asked MirJafar to join war...but he disagreed

sayin that he was not well and could not lead thearmy....he said to nawab you are enough to lead

your force but nawab was unknown to this fact that MirJafar had given all the information of force

of nawab to Robert Clive, I was made a soldier of army ofnawab as it was compulsary for every

men of Bengal to join the force when asked by the nawab.

The battle started, Company's force was well equiped witharms...and

they all knew about our formation....therefore we weresoon defeated and nawab was killed by

Robert Clive.......he made Mir Jafar Nawab and this wasthe end of prosperity of Bengal, prosperity

of India.....this was the fiction of my truth............

Tigerlilly here for a review!

This story is filled with a lot of typos and spelling errors that could easily be fixed. You often forgot spacing, so its a really easy fix. I think if you just read through it a bit, maybe even read it out loud (which is a method I highly recommend when looking over your own work) to find your mistakes.
I also found this story slightly... boring honestly. Perhaps you should find something to really captivate the reader instead of throwing things at them. I was slightly confused at some parts, and I think that if you elaborated a bit more that could help with that.
Other than that, it was a nice story. I enjoyed reading it and i look forward to reading more of your work. :)

There was a few spelling errors, but none of them were glaringly too obvious. Just read through it again, and make sure to keep a close eye on it.

I feel like the use of a lot of periods was kinda unnecessary, but, still it fits into the theme. As long as you keep working on your writing, i'm sure you'll be able to fix these small mistakes.

Except for that, there's a few things like the story isn't too interesting, but its true history. I enjoyed reading it, and just keep on writing!
