To the Nizam were restored some of the districts yielded up to British-control in 1853, and his debts of to the British government were remitted. Some tracts of forest-clad land on the frontiers of Oudh were given up to Nepal Sindhia, the Begam of Bhopal, the Gaikwar of Baroda, and many of the Rajput princes were rewarded by territorial concessions or reductions of tribute, and upon many Indian princes and statesmen were conferred in 1861 knighthoods in the newly instituted order of the Star of India.
