	Wajid Ali Shah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The independence of Awadh in name was tolerated by the British only because they still needed a buffer state between their presence in the East and South, and the remnants of the Mughal Empire to the North.
		Recent studies have, however, suggested that Awadh was neither as bankrupt nor as lawless as the British had claimed.
		In fact, Awadh was for all practical purposes under British rule well before the annexation, with the Nawab playing little more than a titular role.
