Question

what happened in India in 1765

Answer 1

In 1765, the British East India Company acquired the Diwani rights (rights to collect taxes) of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa through the Treaty of Allahabad. This marked the beginning of British direct control and governance in India. The Company's control over these territories allowed them to exploit the resources and wealth of the region, leading to increased tensions and conflict with the local Indian rulers and population. This laid the foundation for British colonial rule in India and eventually led to the establishment of the British Raj.
