1st Baron Clive. Clive went to India as a military accountant and clerk of the British East India Company which had its own Army intended for protection of Company staff and property. Clive worked his way up the military and company ladder and then commanded all the British (company) troops. Under his command the Company, in the name of the British Government actually began to rule territory at first buying that right from the Indian ruler for English pounds of silver. Then Clive used the Army to deal with disorder and banditry and took over new territory where local leaders had aided those who were harassing the British. Soon, he had control of more land than the rest of Britain together with many more people. In the process, his accounting skills served him well and the British East India Company had made a fortune larger than anything in British history and Clive himself became the richest man in England. There was a famine in India and Clive and the Company did little to alleviate the suffering. They continued to make huge profits while many of the people were dying, hence the nickname. The inquiry was called to see of Clive and the Company had been escessive in their rule and had taken too much profit.
