The Battles of Plassey and Buxar have one similarity between them: The outcomes of both battles began an era of colonialism whose legacy still affects the present billion-strong populace of the Indian subcontinent.
The Battle of Plassey was fought on 23rd June 1757 between Armies of the East India Company (formed on December 31st, 1600) led by Robert Clive and Mughal Bengal led by Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah. The battle ended in a decisive victory for East India Company which gave them a stronghold to spread their influence throughout the subcontinent.
The Battle of Buxar fought between the combined armies of Mir Qasim and East India Company on 22 October 1764 was another decisive victory for the company which saw the subjugation of the provinces of Bengal and Bihar in its entirety. This gave economic leverage to the East India Company.
