Wellesley came to India with a determination to launch a forward policy in order to make ‘the British Empire in India’ into ‘the British Empire of India’. The system that he adopted to achieve his object is known as the ‘Subsidiary Alliance’.
Wellesley’s Subsidiary System is regarded as one of the masterstrokes of British imperialism.
1. It increased the military strength of the Company in India at the expense of the protected states. The territories of the Company were free from the ravages of war thereby establishing the stability of the British power in India.
2. The position of the British was strengthened against its Indian and non-Indian enemies.
3. Under the system, expansion of British power became easy.
Thus Wellesley’s diplomacy made the British the paramount power in India.
