Why did the Battle of Buxar (1764) hold far greater political significance for British rule than the Battle of Plassey (1757)?

प्लासी की तुलना में बक्सर का युद्ध अधिक निर्णायक और राजनीतिक रूप से महत्वपूर्ण क्यों था?

Mir Jafar became the Mughal Emperor after Buxarबक्सर के बाद मीर जाफ़र मुग़ल सम्राट बना

Buxar was fought on shipsबक्सर का युद्ध जहाजों पर लड़ा गया

Plassey was won without fighting, while Buxar defeated the joint military alliance of Bengal, Awadh, and the Mughal Emperor himself, legalizing British revenue sovereignty across Northern Indiaप्लासी को बिना लड़े ही जीत लिया गया, जबकि बक्सर ने बंगाल, अवध और स्वयं मुगल सम्राट के संयुक्त सैन्य गठबंधन को हराया, जिससे पूरे उत्तरी भारत में ब्रिटिश राजस्व संप्रभुता वैध हो गई।

Plassey was fought against the Frenchप्लासी का युद्ध फ्रांसीसियों के विरुद्ध हुआ था

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Plassey was won largely through secret conspiracy and treachery. Buxar was a pitched military contest where British forces under Hector Munro crushed the combined imperial armies of Mir Qasim, Shuja-ud-Daulah, and Emperor Shah Alam II, securing formal Diwani rights.

What were the strict terms and strategic consequences of the 'Subsidiary Alliance' imposed by Lord Wellesley on Indian princely states?

लॉर्ड वेलेजली की सहायक संधि की प्रमुख शर्तें और परिणाम क्या थे?

Indian rulers had to disband their own standing armies, maintain British troops at their own cost, station a British Resident at their court, and surrender independent foreign diplomacyभारतीय शासकों को अपनी स्वयं की स्थायी सेनाओं को भंग करना पड़ा, अपनी लागत पर ब्रिटिश सैनिकों को बनाए रखना पड़ा, अपने दरबार में एक ब्रिटिश रेजिडेंट को तैनात करना पड़ा और स्वतंत्र विदेशी कूटनीति का समर्पण करना पड़ा।

States were allowed to sign treaties with France freelyराज्यों को फ्रांस के साथ स्वतंत्र रूप से संधियों पर हस्ताक्षर करने की अनुमति दी गई

The British paid tribute to Indian kingsअंग्रेजों ने भारतीय राजाओं को श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित की

Kings were made British army generalsराजाओं को ब्रिटिश सेना का सेनापति बनाया गया

Correct Answer: Option A

The Subsidiary Alliance effectively disarmed Indian states: failure to pay subsidiary troop subsidies resulted in the British confiscating parts of their territory (e.g., Awadh in 1801).

How Chapter-Wise Online CBT Tests Build Winning Habits for Future Competitive Exams

Early practice in high school builds the mental muscle, speed, and analytical discipline required to ace NTSE, Olympiads, JNVST, CUET, and Foundation JEE/NEET.

Competitive Edge

Real-Time Clock Awareness & Pacing

समय प्रबंधन एवं गति नियंत्रण

In school examinations, students write answers without active pacing. In national entrance tests, students have barely 45-60 seconds per MCQ. Practicing with a 20-minute timer instills instinctive time-budgeting and prevents last-minute exam panic.

Mastery of the Elimination Technique

विकल्प निष्कासन विधि में दक्षता

Top rankers in competitive exams rarely compute every problem blindly. They spot subtle traps, evaluate extreme values, and eliminate 2 out of 4 distractors within seconds. Our 4-option sets teach critical distractor analysis.

CBT Screen Stamina & Digital Comfort
