How did the Battle of Plassey and the Battle of Buxar paved the way for the establishment of British rule in India.

$\huge {\underline {\bf {Answer}}}$

Before the battle of Buxar, one more battle was fought. That was Battle of Plassey, that timely gave British the predominance over the administration of the Bengal. As a result of the Battle of Plassey, Siraj-Ud-Daulah was dethroned as the Nawab of Bengal and was replaced by Mir Jafar (Commander of Siraj’s Army.) After Mir Jafar became the new Bengal nawab, the British took him as their puppet but Mir Jafar got involved with Dutch. Mir Qasim (son-in-law of Mir Jafar) was supported by the British to become the new Nawab and under the pressure of the Company, Mir Jafar decided to resign in favour of Mir Kasim. A pension of Rs 1,500 per annum was fixed for Mir Jafar.
