What is Battle of Buxar?
It is a battle that was fought between English Forces, and a joint army of the Nawab of Oudh Shah Alam II, Nawab of Bengal, Mir Kasim, and Mughal Emperor. The battle was the result of misuse of Dastak, Farman and also the trade colonialist desire of English.
Battle of Buxar Causes
Before the battle of Buxar, one more battle was fought. That was Battle of Plassey, that timely gave British the predominance over the administration of the Bengal. As a result of the Battle of Plassey, Siraj-Ud-Daulah was dethroned as the Nawab of Bengal and was replaced by Mir Jafar (Commander of Siraj’s Army.) After Mir Jafar became the new Bengal nawab, the British took him as their puppet but Mir Jafar got involved with Dutch. Mir Qasim (son-in-law of Mir Jafar) was supported by the British to become the new Nawab and under the pressure of the Company, Mir Jafar decided to resign in favour of Mir Kasim. A pension of Rs 1,500 per annum was fixed for Mir Jafar.
A few reasons which were the key to the Battle of Buxar are given below:
Mir Qasim wanted to be independent and shifted his capital to Munger Fort from Calcutta.
He also hired foreign experts to train his army.
He treated Indian merchants and English as same.
Misuse of Dastak, Farman and expansion of trade by English were disliked by Mir Qasim.
These factors fuelled the English decided to overthrow him and war broke out between Mir Kasim and the Company in 1763.
