Second Battle of Midnapur (1746)
</noinclude>
In 1746, the Independent Nawabs of Bengal and the Maratha Confederacy fought each other at the Second Battle of 'Midnapore'.
Background
Due to continuous raids by the Marathas a proposal of peace was brought forward where the Delhi emperor (Mughal emperor) promised to pay 10 lakhs of annual chauth to Rajah Shahu for the Bengal Subah. Alivardi Khan not being very fond of the proposal, argued that the proposal would only be just, if Shahu effectually kept Raghuji Bhonsle out of Bengal rather than merely ordering him to do so.
Battle
The battle was commanded by Alivardi Khan's general, Mir Jafar against Mir Habib's lieutenant Sayyid Nur
