Answer 1

Answer:

The battle of Buxar in 1764 consolidated British rule in India. The East India Company had already gained  a significant strategic  foothold on the Indian  subcontinent . However the company  growing dominance  was challenged by  a number  of  Indian  states including  the Mughal  Empire . Up until  the battle of Buxar , the British  had relied on an  administrative strategy  that  involved  governing through puppet  rulers . This was the  risky  strategy  at  best , as  such  proxies  didnt always prove  particularly reliable  . The British  victory at Buxar led to fast  swatches of the  Indian subcontinent  coming under the  direct control of East  India  Company.
