Battles of Plassey (1757) and Buxar (1764): Rise of British Power in India

The Battle of Plassey was a decisive victory of the British East India Company over the Nawab of Bengal and his French allies in 1757. Siraj-ud-daulah had asked Britishers to stop fortification which became one of the reasons for the war. Robert Clive bribed Mir Jafar, commander-in-chief of Siraj-ud-daulah of making him the next Nawab which resulted in betrayal from Mir Qasim and victory of the British.

The battle of Buxar was fought between the forces of the British East India Company and the combined army of an alliance of Indian states including Bengal, Awadh, and the Mughal Empire in the year 1764. The British victory at Buxar resulted in the end of the attempt to rule Bengal through a puppet nawab. The war came to an end by the "Treaty of Allahabad" in 1765.

The Battle of Buxar was
fought on 22 October 1764 between the forces under the command of the British East
India Company led by Hector Munro and the combined army of Mir Qasim, the Nawab
of Bengal; the Nawab of Awadh; and the Mughal King Shah Alam II. The battle
fought at Buxar, a small fortified town within the territory of Bengal,
located on the bank of the Ganges river about 130 km west of Patna, was a
decisive victory for the British East India Company.

The British victory under Robert Clive at Plassey in Bengal was a crucial event in the history of India. It was a decisive victory of the British East India Company over the Nawab of Bengal and his French allies on 23 June 1757.  The British after the victory acquired significant concessions for previous losses and revenue from trade which was later used for the expansion of the British empire.

According to the regulating act, 1773 Warren Hastings the then Governor of Bengal was appointed as Governor General of Bengal. He abolished Duel Government. He made Calcutta as his capital and shifted treasury of the company from Murshidabad to Calcutta.

The Dual system of Government was abolished by Warren Hastings in 1772
and Bengal was brought under direct control of the British. The Nawabs
remained as the mere prisoners of the East India Company.

The system of Dual Government was introduced in Bengal by Robert Clive of British East India Company. It lasted from 1765 to 1772. Under this system, the administration of Bengal was divided into Nizamat and Diwani. The Diwani was carried out by the company and the Nizamat by the Nizam. The system was abolished by Warren Hastings in 1772 and Bengal was brought under direct control of the British and the Nawabs remained as the mere pensioners of the East India Company.

Battle of Buxar ended with the signing of Treaty of Allahabad in 1765 by Shah Alam II and Robert Clive of East India Company. It gave diwani rights or the right to collect taxes of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa to the East India Company. Tax exempt status was also restored to the company.

East India Company defeated the Nawab at Plassey in 1757 and captured Calcutta. The battle was preceded by the attack on British-controlled Calcutta by Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah  and the Black Hole massacre. The Brirish sent reinforcements under Colonel Robert Clive and Admiral Charles Watson from Madras to Bengal and recaptured Calcutta.

The Battle of Buxar happened in the year 1764. In this battle, Hectar Muro of the British defeated the combined forces of Mir Qasim. The Nawab of Avadh took refuge in Rohilakhand and Shah Alam took the side of the British. Mir Qasim had to run away from the battle field.

The Nawab of Avadh took refuge in Rohilakhand and Shah Alam took the side of the British. Mir Qasim had to run away from the battle field.  Mir Qasim was independent in his out look. After verifying the misuse of Dastakaths, he made all trade in Bengal tax free. This made the British to face the competition from the Indian Merchants. So they dethroned Mir Qasim and brought back Mir Jaffer to the throne. All this ultimately led to the Battle of Buxar.

1) Mir Jaffer again became the Nawaba of Bengal.

Battle of Plassey in Bengal, on 23 June, 1757, was a crucial event in the history of India. It was the start of nearly two centuries of British rule in India. The British East India Company led by Robert Clive defeated Siraj-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa and a small French force. Hence Clive is called the Hero of Plassey.

The Battle of Plassey was won by the British primarily due to the betrayal of Mir Jafar, the Nawab's commander, who conspired with Robert Clive and withheld his forces during the battle.

The Battle of Buxar was fought on 22 October 1764 between the forces
under the command of the British East India Company led by Hector Munro
and the combined armies of Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal; the Nawab of
Awadh; and the Mughal King Shah Alam II.

Statements 1, 2, and 3 are historically accurate regarding the East India Company's administration after the Battle of Buxar and the acquisition of the Diwani in 1765. Statement 4 is generally considered an oversimplification or incorrect in the context of standard textbook curriculum, as Residents were primarily political agents.

Mir Qasim was the Nawab of Bengal from the year 1760 till 1764. The British East India Company made him the Nawab of Bengal by replacing Mir Jafar, the father-in-law of Mir Qasim, who was also installed by the British in reply to his treachery in the Battle of Plassey. Since Mir Jafar engaged himself with the Dutch East India Company to assert independence, the British finally defeated Mir Jafar and the Dutch forces at Chinsura and made Mir Qasim the new Nawab of Bengal. Mir Qasim gave Burdwan, Midnapore and Chittagong districts to the company.

The Battle of Plassey (Palasi) is an important landmark in the history of India. On 23 June 1757, the armies of Siraj-ud-Daulah and the English East India Company met at Murshidabad the then capital of undivided Bengal. British forces were led by Robert Clive and Mir Zafar, commander in chief of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah's army. Mir Zafar betrayed the Nawab and remained inactive. As a consequence, Siraj-ud-Daulah lost the battle, was captured and later killed.

Mir Qasim was the Nawab of Bengal from 1760 to 1763. Mir Jafar who had supported the British during the battle of Plassey was replaced as the Nawab of Bengal by Mir Qasim by the Britishers as he was in conflict with the East India company over too many demands. Mir Qasim died in poverty possibly at Kotwal, near Delhi on 8 May 1777.

The events happened in the following order:

The battle of Buxar was fought between the forces of the British East India Company and the combined army of an alliance of Indian states including Bengal, Awadh, and the Mughal Empire in the year 1764. The war came to an end by the "Treaty of Allahabad" in 1765. It granted the East India Company Diwani rights, or the right to collect taxes on behalf of the Emperor from the eastern province of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa.

The Treaty of Benaras in 1773 was an agreement regulating relations between the British government of Bengal and the ruler of the Muslim state of Oudh. Warren Hastings, the British governor, ceded Allahabad and Kora to Shujaʿ and promised to support him against the menacing Afghan Rohillas in return for cash payments.

The system of Dual Government was introduced in Bengal by Robert Clive of British East India Company. It lasted from 1765 to 1772.
