What are the Terms Of treaty Treaty of Allahabad

Answer 1

the treaty of Allahabad was signed on 16 August 1765, between theMughalEmperorShah Alam II, son of the late emperor Alamgir II, and Robert, Lord Clive, of theEast India Company, as a result of the battle of Buxarof 22 October 1764. The Treaty marks the political and constitutional involvement and the beginning of British rule in India.[1]Based on the terms of the agreement, Alam granted the East India CompanyDiwani rights, or the right to collect taxes on behalf of the Emperor from the eastern province of Bengal-Bihar-Orissa. Thus East India Company got appointed as the imperial tax collector for the Eastern province (Bengal-Bihar-Orissa). These rights allowed the Company to collect revenue directly from the people of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. In return, the Company paid an annual tribute of twenty-sixlakhsofrupees (equal to 260,000pounds sterling) while securing for Shah Alam II the districts of Kora and Allahabad. The tribute money paid to the emperor was for the maintenance of the Emperor's court in Allahabad. The accord also dictated that Shah Alam is restored to the province ofVaranasias long as he continued to pay a certain amount of revenue to the Company.Awad was returned to Shuja-Ud-Daulah, but Allahabad and Kora were taken from him. TheNawab of Awadhalso had to pay fifty-three lakhs of rupees as war indemnity to the East India Company.The Nawab of Awadh, Shuja Ud Daulah, was made to pay a war indemnity of 5 million rupees to the Company. Moreover, the two signed an alliance by which the Company promised to support the Nawab against an outside attack provided he paid for services of the troops sent to his aid. This alliance made the Nawab dependent on the Company. This was the turning point in Indian History
