Answers
Answer:
The Battle of Plassey
On 23rd June 1757, Battle of Plassey was fought. It was a major victory for the British. Alivardi Khan died in 1756 and Siraj-ud-daulah became the Nawab of Bengal. In 1757, Robert Clive led the Company’s army against Siraj-Ud-daulah at Plassey. One of the main reasons for the failure of the Nawabs was that Mir Jafar and his forces didn’t fight the battle. Clive promised Mir Jafar the Nawabi title after the death of Sirj-ud-daulah.
The Battle of Buxar
Mir Jafar became the Nawab of Bengal after the defeat of Plassey. He was a mere puppet in the hands of the British. British and Mir Qasim fought in the Battle of Buxar in 1764. After Mir Jafar’s death, the Mughal emperor appointed the East India company as the Diwan of Bengal and its provinces. In 1764, Robert Clive was appointed Governor of Bengal.
Expansion Of The Company Rule
The process of annexation of Indian states by the East India Company from 1757 to 1857 brought forth some key aspects like the company rarely launched a direct military attack on an unknown territory. After 1764, the company forced the states into a ‘subsidiary alliance’. The Nawab of Awadh and the Nizam of Hyderabad were forced to cede territories and accept the subsidiary alliances.
