Diwani right of Bengal
Diwani right of Bihar and Bengal
Diwani right of Bihar, Bengal and Orissa
Subjugation of Bengal only
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. Diwani right of Bihar and Bengal
The Battle of Buxar was fought on October 22, 1764, between the British East India Company and the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj ud-Daulah. The British were victorious, and the Nawab was forced to sign the Treaty of Allahabad, which gave the Company the Diwani right of Bihar and Bengal. This gave the Company the right to collect revenue in these provinces, and it marked the beginning of the Company’s rise to power in India.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A is incorrect because the Diwani right was not granted for all of Bengal, but only for Bihar and Bengal.
- Option C is incorrect because the Diwani right was not granted for all of Bihar, Bengal, and Orissa, but only for Bihar and Bengal.
- Option D is incorrect because the Battle of Buxar did not result in the subjugation of Bengal only, but also in the granting of the Diwani right to the Company.
