Question
Name two Indian States brought under the British control using the Subsidiary Alliance.
Solution
Some Indian States were brought under British control without actually annexing them. Under this system, the Indian rulers who agreed to the Subsidiary Alliance:
- Accepted the British as the supreme power.
- They surrendered their foreign relations to the East India Company and agreed that they would not enter into any alliance with any other power and would not wage wars.
- They accepted a British resident at their headquarters and agreed not to employ any Europeans in their service without consulting the company.
- Agreed to maintain British troops at their own cost.
- Virtually lost their independence.
