- (a) Dupleix: Joseph François Dupleix was the Governor-General of the French Establishment in India (1742-1754). Matches with 3 (French Governor). - (b) Anwar-ud-din: Nawab of the Carnatic from 1744 to 1749. Matches with 4 (Nawab of Carnatic). - (c) Shuja-ud-Daula: Nawab of Awadh from 1754 to 1775. He was an ally of the Nawab of Bengal (Mir Qasim) and the Mughal Emperor in the Battle of Buxar. The description "Nawab of Bengal" (1) is incorrect for Shuja-ud-Daula. - (d) Polock: This is likely a typo for Admiral Charles Pocock, a British naval officer active in India during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), notably against the French in the Carnatic region. Matches with 2 (British Admiral), assuming the typo.
Statement 3 is correct: The three Carnatic Wars fought between the British and French East India Companies in the mid-18th century were decisive in establishing British supremacy in India by significantly weakening French influence and control. Statement 4 is correct: The Treaty of Allahabad, signed in 1765 after the Battle of Buxar, granted the English East India Company the Diwani rights (right to collect revenue) of Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha from the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. While the year mentioned in the statement (1865) is incorrect (it should be 1765), the statement regarding the treaty granting diwani rights in Bengal is factually correct in substance, assuming the year is a typo. [Self-correction: Given the instruction to explain based on the provided text, Statement 4 as written with '1865' is factually incorrect. If we strictly follow the text, only 1 and 3 are correct, and no option matches. However, in the context of UPSC questions where typos can occur and options are given, option D suggesting 1, 3, and 4 are correct implies statement 4 was intended to be correct with the year 1765. Proceeding with the assumption of an intended correct question where 1, 3, and (corrected) 4 are true.] 88. Match List I with List II correctly and select answer : List I List II (a) Dupleix 1.
