GOOD MORNING.............
Explanation:
The Year 2015 marked 250 years of Treaty of Allahabad. The Treaty of Allahabad was signed on August 12, 1765 between Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II and Robert Clive as a result of the Battle of Buxar. With this treaty, East India Company got a strong political footing in India. Before the treaty, the British only had a strong trading relation with Indian rulers. This treaty was one the factors that made sure that they would rule India for two centuries.
*Mughal Emperor granted Fiscal Rights (Diwani)or right to administer the territory and collect taxes to the East India Company at Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. Thus the British became the masters of fate of the people of Bihar, Bengal and Orissa and now they would collect the revenue.
*In lieu of this Right, the Company gave an annual tribute of 26 Lakh Rupees to the Mughals
*The districts of Kora and Allahabad were returned to Mughal Emperor.
Awadh was returned to Shuja-ud-Daulah but Allahabad and Kora was taken from him.
The Nawab of Awadh paid 53 Lakhs rupees of war indemnity to the British.
