How To Reach Katkauli ka Maidan

Buxar, Bihar, India:
The Turning Point of Indian History: Katkauli ka Maidan is the historically crucial field where the decisive Battle of Buxar took place on October 22, 1764. This battle was fought between the forces of the British East India Company, led by Major Hector Munro, and the combined army of the three majo r Indian powers: Mir Qasim (Nawab of Bengal), Shuja-ud-Daula (Nawab of Awadh), and the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. The comprehensive victory of the relatively small British force here cemented the East India Company's political and military supremacy in Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa, effectively laying the foundation for nearly two centuries of British colonial rule in India. The site today is a vast field, now mostly agricultural land, with a stone memorial erected by the British to commemorate their victory. It is a sombre reminder of the political and military weakness of the Indian powers at the time and the turning point that reshaped the subcontinent's destiny:
