The Battle of Buxar was fought on October 22, 1764, between the British East India Company and a coalition of Indian rulers, including Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Oudh; Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal; and the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. This battle was significant as it established British dominance in India, leading to the expansion of their control over the subcontinent. The victory at Buxar laid the groundwork for British colonial rule in India.
