Answer: The English came into contact with the state of Awadh first during the course of the battle of Buxar. Awadh was defeated and Clive made a settlement with it some time after. It surrendered Allahabad and Kara to the Mughul emperor and paid rupees fifty lacs to the Company. In 1773, Warren Hastings restored Allahabad and Kara to Awadh after payment of rupees fifty lacs. The English also helped it in conquering Ruhelkhand. By a treaty in 1775, Awadh handed over Banaras and Ghazipur to the English. The Nawab of Awadh extracted the wealth of his father from the Begums with the support of the English. He also agreed to pay a fixed annual amount for the expenses of the English army. When Cornwallis came as the governor-general, the finances of Awadh were in a bad shape. Cornwallis criticised the administration in a serious tone. Yet, by that time, the English desired to keep Awadh as a buffer state between their territories and the Marathas. Therefore, they did not want to weaken it
