British policy towards India during 1765-1813 known as the 'Policy of Ring Fence' (or Policy of Buffer State)
EXPLANATION:
- At the time of Warren Hastings’ (first Governor-General of India 1773-1785), the 'East India Company' had no definite policy concerning Indian states but for making use of them as the first line of defence. The policy of Buffer state was reflected in Warren Hastings’ wars against the Marathas (Mysore), and intended at building buffer zones to protect the Company’s frontiers.
- De to Maratha and Afghan invaders and the defensive policy was adopted to protect the India’s commercial interest and territories. With the coming of Lord Wellesley who was the 'Governor-General of India' from 1798-1805, the aggressive policy was enforced. From 1798 the 'Subsidiary Alliance system' was enforced bringing all Indian states to a situation of depending on the Company.
- Wellesley’s policy of 'subsidiary alliance' was an extension of the Policy of Ring Fence. The rulers of Hyderabad, Mysore, Tanjore, Oudh, Surat, Peshwa, Carnatic, among others accepted the alliance. During the governor-generalship of Georg Barlow from 1805-1807 the policy of Non-Intervention and Non-Neutrality was adopted towards Indian states. The Indian states’ rulers were appeased during this period, however no concession was given to the seized states.
