Question

What Were The Effects Of Battle Of Buxar

Answer 1

Answer:

The British victory at Buxar had, in one go, disposed of the three main scions of Moghul power in Upper India. Mir Qasim disappeared into an impoverished obscurity. Shah Alam realigned himself with the British, and Shuja-ud-Daula fled west, swiftly pursued by the victors. The whole Ganges valley lay at the Company's mercy; Shuja-ud-Daula eventually surrendered; henceforth Company troops became the power-brokers throughout Awadh as well as Bihar.
