The Battle of Plassey was nothing more than a conflict between the soldiers. This was such a deal in which the rich seths of Bengal and Mir Zafar sold the Nawab off in the hands of the British. After this battle, Bengal was occupied by the British. After this battle. Mir Zafar was made the Nawab of Bengal who was a puppet in the hands of the British.

When he could not provide money to the British, Mir Qasim was appointed as the new Nawab of Bengal, Mir Qasim wished to check the power of the British from increasing any further. For this, he tried to reorganize the administration but due to corruption and British interference, he could not succeed. Now differences began to increase between both in context of financial matters and other facilities which resulted into the Battle of Buxar of 1764.

This battle took place between the British and the joint armies of all the three (Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal Shujaud – Daula the Nawab of Awadh and Mughal emperor Shah Alam) in which British get victory. This battle fixed a permanent seal on the decisions of Plassey. Its importance is more in context to political and military point of view. Now there was nobody who could challenge the sovereignty of the British.

Now the new Nawab was their puppet, while the Nawab of Avadh was their obligor and the Mughal Emperor was their pensioner. Through this battle, the region upto Allahabad came under the dominance of the British and the way to Delhi also opened for them.

Through the treaty of Allahabad, the Divani rights of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa also went in the hands of the British. This battle transformed the British into an all India power. Now they started to claim upon entire India. So the statement of Smith that “The Battle of Buxar completed the unfulfilled task of Plassey.” is quite true.
