How did the company seures its rule over north west
Answers
Explanation:
After the Battle of Buxar, the Company appointed Resident Officers in Indian states. They were political or commercial agents, and their job was to serve and further the interests of the Company.
Soon, the Company began forcing the Indian states into joining a subsidiary alliance (a partnership between a ruling country and a country that is being ruled). According to the terms of this agreement, Indian rulers were not allowed to have their independent armed forces, but were to be protected by the Company.
The local rulers also had to pay for the subsidiary forces that the Company promised to maintain for the purpose of their "protection".
And if the Indian rulers failed to make the payment, then part of their territory was taken away. The kingdoms of Awadh and Hyderabad, for example, were forced to cede territories on this ground.
