battle of plassey
although the british east india company had established a presence in india as far back as 1612, and earlier administered the factory areas established for trading purposes, its victory in the battle of plassey in 1757 marked the beginning of its firm foothold in eastern india. the victory was consolidated in 1764 at the battle of buxar, when the east india company army defeated mughal emperor shah alam ii. after his defeat, the emperor granted the company the right to the "collection of revenue" in the provinces of bengal (modern day bengal, bihar, and odisha), known as "diwani" to the company. the company soon expanded its territories around its bases in bombay and madras; later, the anglo-mysore wars (1766–1799) and the anglo-maratha wars (1772–1818) led to control of even more of india.
