Oudh

 

a historic region in northern India, located on the middle course of the Ganges River. Its name comes from the ancient city of Ajodhya (medieval Awadh). During the Middle Ages, Oudh was the most important part of the large states that formed in the valley of the Ganges. In the 1720’s Saadat Khan, vicegerent of the Great Moguls in Oudh, obtained its de facto independence. In the 18th and early 19th centuries Oudh (with its capital at Lucknow) was one of the significant principalities of India. It actively opposed the expansion of the English East India Company but was defeated by it in 1764 in a battle at Buxar and became the company’s vassal. The annexation of Oudh by the company in 1856 was one of the main reasons why Oudh became the major seat of the Indian popular uprising of 1857–59. Oudh is part of the state of Uttar Pradesh of the Republic of India.
