Expert Answer
Terms and consequences of the ‘Treaty of Allahabad’:
- The Treaty of Allahabad was signed between Robert Clive, Shuja-ud-Daulah and Shah Alam II.
- Awadh was returned to Shuja-ud-Daulah and his two districts Koran and Allahabad were taken away.
- He had to pay a war indemnity of 50 lakh rupees to the Company.
- Awadh was given protection by the British. However, the Nawab would have to pay for the cost of the British troops.
- Hence, Awadh acted as a buffer state between British-possessed Bengal and the Marathas.
- The districts of Koran and Allahabad and an annual pension of 26 lakh rupees were given to Shah Alam II.
- In return, Shah Alam II granted Diwani rights of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa to the British.
- The Nawab of Bengal was made a puppet with no military or administrative powers.
