उत्तर
Mir Qasim objected to the misuse of cf trade regulations. The abuse of duty-free inland trade adversely affected the revenue which was the only income of the Nawab. Mir Qasim took other measures for consolidation of his administration,
(a) training his army on European lines
(b) transfer of treasury from Murshidabad to Munghyr.
The British did not like these administrative steps. Under these circumstances, Nawab Mir Qasim challenged the company, and war broke out between them. The Nawab was defeated and fled to Awadh. He formed an alliance with Shuja-ud-daulah, the Nawab of Awadh and Shah Alam, the Mughal Emperor. The three forces met the British at Buxar on October 22, 1764. This battle is known as the Battle of Buxar. The British emerged victoriously. They made Mir Jaffar the Nawab of Bengal, the second time. The defeat in the battle of Buxar finally sealed the fate of Indian rulers and made the English the supreme power in India.
