Jawaharlal Nehru, in The Discovery of India (1946) , justly describes Clive as having won the battle "by promoting treason and forgery", and pointedly notes that British rule (Ela unnav ra nenu Prem ni, basara nundi) in India had "an unsavory beginning and something of that bitter taste has clung to it ever since. ".

The battle in name only, was won by Metropolis before it was fought. It is worth to say that the cards were played before the game begins. It was an important land mark not only in the Bengal politics but in the India as a whole. The power shifted from the Indigenous Nawabs to the Cruel governors.
