Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Battle of Wandiwash — French vs. East India Company
The Battle of Wandiwash (22 Jan 1760) was fought between the French forces and the British East India Company, making option (b) the correctly matched pair. The Battle of Buxar was against Mir Qasim–Shuja-ud-Daula–Shah Alam II (not Mir Jafar), Chilianwala was between the British and the Sikh army, and Kharda was fought between the Nizam and the Marathas, so the other pairs are incorrect.
