Q. Who among the following was not a party to the coalition that fought against the English in the Battle of Buxar?

(a) Mir Kasim

(b) Mir Jafar

(c) Shuja-ud-daulah

(d) Shah Alam II

Ans: (b) Mir Jafar

Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Mir Jafar.

Mir Jafar was not a party to the coalition that fought against the English in the Battle of Buxar. The Battle of Buxar took place in 1764 and was fought between the East India Company and a coalition consisting of the forces of Mir Kasim, the Nawab of Bengal; Shuja-ud-daulah, the Nawab of Awadh; and Shah Alam II, the Mughal emperor. Mir Jafar, on the other hand, was a former Nawab of Bengal who had previously collaborated with the British and was not involved in the Battle of Buxar.
