Question

The British become successful in establishing rule in India after the battle of plassy and Buxar _ explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Victory for the British East India Company in the Battle of Plassey was the start of nearly two centuries of British rule in India. For an event with such momentous consequences, it was a surprisingly unimpressive military encounter, the defeat of the Nawab of Bengal owing much to betrayal.

It is a battle fought between the East India Company force headed by Robert Clive and Siraj-Ud-Daulah (Nawab of Bengal). The rampant misuse by EIC officials of trade privileges annoyed Siraj. The continuing misconduct by EIC against Siraj-Ud-Daulah led to the battle of Plassey in 1757.

Through their victory in this battle, the British East India Company acquired the Diwani of Bengal which gave them the rights to collect taxes. They were able to exploit people mercilessly in the name of tax collection and fill up their own coffers.
