Treaty of Allahabad

The Treaty of Allahabad was signed in 1765 between the British East India Company and the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. It marked a significant turning point in Indian history, as it granted the British the rights to collect revenue in Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa, effectively giving them control over these regions. The treaty strengthened British power in India and laid the foundation for their eventual dominance over the subcontinent. It is seen as a key event that shifted India's governance from Mughal rule to British colonial rule, influencing the country's political landscape for centuries.
