Answer 2

The Nawab of Awadh was forced to give over half of his territory to the Company in 1801, as he failed to pay for the “subsidiary forces”. Later, in 1858, the state of Awadh was annexed by the British on the charges of mismanagement of the state

The Oudh, (called Awadh by the British) State was a princely state in the Awadh region of North India. A few important facts about Oudh State are:

1. The first capital of Oudh/Awadh was Ayodhya, later Faizabad.
2. Awadh became one of the provinces where governors upon the decline of the Mughal Empire (following the death of Emperor Aurangazeb) began to consolidate their own power.
3. The governors of Awadh began to exert greater autonomy until Awadh evolved into an independent state that controlled fertile lands of the Central and Lower Doab region.
4. The British East India Company checked its power following the Battle of Buxar in 1764. In its aftermath, Awadh came under the nominal control of the British colonial powers
