Answer: Calcutta
Notes: Siraj-ud-Daulah renamed Calcutta as Alinagar after seizing Fort William from the British in 1756. He chose this name as Ali Vardi Khan was his grandfather. Ali Vardi Khan (1671 – 1756) was the Nawab of Bengal from 1740–1756. The Treaty of Alinagar was signed on 9 February 1757 between Robert Clive of the British East India Company and the Nawab of Bengal, Mirza Muhammad Siraj Ud Daula. Alinagar was the short-lived name given to Calcutta given by the Nawab after it was captured by him.
