Today’s question comes from a heavyweight on the Indian quizzing scene – Sreeram Iyer from Chennai .
Place X gets its commonly known name from a corruption of the local name for A. B was associated with a landmark event which took place at X .
Identify X , A and B .
A
B
Plassey (X) gets its name from the village Polashi , which in turn derives its name from Polash, which is Bengali for Flame of the Forest (A) . B , of course , is Robert Clive .
