The Battle of Buxar (October 1764) was fought between the forces under the command of the British East India Company on the one side, and the combined armies of Mir Kasim, the Nawab of Bengal; Suja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Awadh; and Shah Alam II, the Mughal Emperor. The battle fought at Buxar (currently in Bihar state, India), a town located on the bank of the Ganges river, was a decisive battle won by the forces of the British East India Company.
The battle resulted in securing of Diwani rights to administer the collection and management of the revenues of large areas which currently form parts of the Indian states of West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh , as well as of Bangladesh. The Battle of Buxar heralded the establishment of the rule of the East India Company in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent.
While the Battle of Plassey secured a foothold for the British East India Company in India, the Battle of Buxar made them the dominant force in India.
