Buxar, Battle of
Buxar, Battle of (22 October 1764) A decisive battle at the town of Buxar in north-east India, which confirmed the EAST INDIA COMPANY's control of Bengal and Bihar. Facing the Company were the combined forces of the MOGUL emperor ( Shah Alam), the governor of Oudh ( Shuja ad-Daula), and the dispossessed governor of Bengal ( Mir Qasim). The Company's victory achieved recognition of its predominance in the region, demonstrated by the transfer of the diwani (revenue collecting powers) to the Company's agents in 1765.
