To start with, the articles needs to be moved to Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidbad. The ampersand is not acceptable in the title, per
WP:AMPERSAND.
The article begins with a completely wrong sentence, that the nawabs were rulers of Bengal from 1740 to 1969. Are you kidding? India became independent in 1947. Even befor that Bengal was under the Britsh crown. The nawabs can not be rulers during this time. I do not know what exact official roles they played, but definitely they were not rulers. May be they acted as jamindars or something like that under the British. The ruling part perhaps ended with the battle of Plassey. So please clarify and use appropriate terms.--

Not resolved. I do not think they were rulers of Bengal even under the British rule. if you have reference, please provide it. I do not know about the Nawab's status before 1857, but after that the Bengal area came under the direct control of the
British Crown, so Nawabs were not rulers anymore after this. Even for their ruling status before 1857, you need to provide reference. And what exact area wea ctually under them? The whole Bengal? Or just around Murshidabad?--

Please note:Bengal was a province of the British during the British Raj. During the partition of Bengal (1905–1911), a new province, Assam and East Bengal was created as a Lieutenant-Governorship. In 1911, East Bengal was reunited with Bengal, and the new provinces in the east became: Assam, Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. After the rebellion of 1857 the power to rule was passed over to the British Crown. Administrative control of India came under the prestigious Indian Civil Service which had administrative control over all districts outside the princely states. So Nawabs of Bengal were still the rulers of Bengal but they followed the system of Dual Government. And it has been well mentioned in the article that the Nawabs of Bengal ruled over Bengal, Bihar and Orissa while the Nawabs of Murshidabad ruled over Murshidabad. At last I would say that after finding reliable sources I would surely add them as soon as possible. Thank you.
