The annexation of Awadh by the British East India Company in 1856 had significant consequences. It led to widespread discontent among the local population, particularly among the nobility and landowners who lost their power and wealth. This resentment contributed to the outbreak of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a major uprising against British rule. Ultimately, the annexation marked a pivotal moment in Indian history, leading to the end of Company rule and the establishment of direct British governance in India.

'Shatranj ke khiladi' ("The Chess Players") is a Hindi short-story written by Munshi Premchand. Premchand's Urdu version is titled Shatranj ki bazi. The story depicts decadent royalty of Central North India. It is set around the life of the last independently ruling Nawab ruler Wajid Ali Shah and concludes with the British annexation of the Nawab's kingdom of Awadh in 1856. The two main characters are the aristocrats Mirza Sajjad Ali and Mir Raushan Ali who are deeply immersed into playing chess. Their desire for the game destroys the competency of the characters, and makes them irresponsible in their duties towards their families and society. They derive immense pleasure in developing chess strategies and ignore the real life invasion by the British. Their city Lucknow falls to British attackers as they are busy playing a game of chess. In 1977, Satyajit Ray made a film with the same name, based on this story.
