A tributary alliance between an Indian state and a European East India Company was known in South Asian history as a subsidiary alliance.
The first to agree to a well crafted subsidiary alliance was the Nizam of Hyderabad in 1798.
Explanation:
System of subsidiary alliances:
Lord Wellesley proposed it in order to give the British control over princely kingdoms. Under this system, a monarch of India was required to keep British troops in his state by either giving up some of his holdings or paying for their upkeep. A British resident had to be kept on staff at their courts. By using this arrangement, the British were able to keep a sizable army at the expense of the regional tyrants.
Example:
Following its defeat in the Battle of Buxar, the Kingdom of Awadh was the first to forge an alliance of this kind by the Treaty of Allahabad (1765). (1764). Although Awadh's annexation was justified by poor management, it is not included in the list of subsidiary alliances. Although Tipu Sultan of the Kingdom of Mysore refrained from doing so, Mysore eventually fell under Company authority after the British won the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799.
