β Statement 1 is Incorrect: Vansittart (1760-65) replaced Mir Jafar as Governor of Bengal in 1760 by Mir Qasim. Lord Clive again came back for second term in 1765. Mir Jafar: His reign saw the beginning of the drain of wealth from India to Britain. He made futile efforts to replace the English by the Dutch, but the Dutch were defeated by the English at Bedara in 1759. His reinstatement in 1763 by the British took place after the outbreak of the war with Mir Qasim. Mir Qasim: During his reign the Battle of Buxar (October 22, 1764) was fought between the British and the three allies (Mir Qasim, Shuja-Ud-Daula of Awadh and Shah Alam II). This battle ended in the defeat of the allies by the British forces under Major Hector Munro. β Statement 2 is Incorrect: Battle of Buxar made British the de facto rulers of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (dual government). It made the nawab of Awadh a dependent of the Company and the Mughal emperor its pensioner, thus raising the prestige of the company. It also highlighted the demonstration of the superiority of the English in military skills and arms
