Why do you blame others for your own faults? Mir Zafar met the Nawab at some point during the first half of the war, but stayed quite a few km. away with his troops behind the Nawab's camp. With Mir Zafar's forces were the forces of General Yar Latif Khan, Jagatseth and other generals.
PDF is not a history class. But, we should not blame everything on Mir Zafar. I am happy to read that you have not blamed him for the rainfall from the sky. I blame the superstitious minds of Muslims of Bengal. I can still see it in larger degree among them. They were probably waiting for a divine intervention in Plassey that did not come about. Muslims are just like this.
If I am not mistaken French army officials were responsible for managing the gun powders. They didn’t do it properly, not Mir Jafar alone. But for sure Mir Jafar was one of the main reason for defeat at the battle of palashey. This is unfortunate that 50000 troops could not defeat 2500 British soldiers where only couple of hundred were actual British and Mir Jafar withdrawn 45000 troops from the battle field.
A very nice documentary of battle of palashi
