Which of these wars did not include the participation of the Mughal army?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Battle of Buxar.

The Battle of Buxar in 1764 did not see the involvement of the Mughal army.

It was fought between the British East India Company and the combined forces of the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, the Nawab of Oudh, and the Nawab of Bengal.

While Shah Alam II was nominally the Mughal ruler, his army consisted mainly of troops from Oudh and Bengal.
