After the battle of ______ in 1757, the British achieved political power in India.

  • A.Buxar
  • B.Plassey
  • C.Aliwal
  • D.None of these

Answer: B

It was the battle of Plassey.

At Plassey in June 1757, the East India Company's forces under Robert Clive defeated Siraj-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal, helped by the betrayal of Mir Jafar. The victory gave the Company political control of Bengal and is taken as the start of British power in India.

The battle of Buxar was fought in 1764 and confirmed that power. Aliwal (1846) was a battle of the First Anglo-Sikh War. Since Plassey is offered, 'None of these' is wrong.
