Explanation

The work 'Siyar-ul-Mutakherin' (also spelled Siyar-al-Mutakherin), which provides a detailed contemporary account of the Battle of Plassey (1757) and the decline of the Mughal Empire, was written by Sayyid Ghulam Husain Khan Tabataba’i. Born in 1727, Ghulam Husain was a late Mughal official and historian who completed this comprehensive Persian history in 1781. The text is highly regarded for its eyewitness-style descriptions of the transition from Mughal to British rule in Bengal, including critical observations of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah's character and the subsequent rise of the East India Company. While the work is sometimes viewed as a petition to the British to restore order, it remains a primary source for 18th-century Indian history. The other options, such as Salabat Jung or Ram Mohan Roy, were either political figures or later reformers not associated with this specific historical chronicle.
