Buxar, Battle of

    0.02 sec.

Buxar, Battle of

Battle 1764 at Buxar, in Bihar, northeastern India, in which the British East India Company secured dominance of northern India. It defeated the triple forces of the Mogul emperor Shah Alam II (reigned 1759-1806); Mir Qasim, the recently dispossessed governor of Bengal; and Shuja-ud Daula, governor of the Ganges valley province of Oudh and wazir (chief minister) to the emperor.

The diwani (revenue-collecting authority) for Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa was transferred to the company by Shah Alam II in August 1765 and Oudh became a tributary vassal state.
