How would you analyse the change in policy from subsidiary alliances to the doctrine of lapse in the context of the expansion of the company's power in india?
Answers
We have to explain subsidiary alliances and doctrine of lapse.
Subsidiary Alliance - The Subsidiary Alliance system was a method perfected by Lord Wellesley to surmount Indian powers without the cost and botheration of war. Any Indian ruler, whose security was threatened, was encouraged to seek help and enter into an alliance with the English, who promised to protect ruler from external attacks and internal revolts.
Doctrine Lapse - It was a policy of the British East India Company under which if the ruler of a princely state or territory under the paramountcy of the Company died without a natural heir, the state/territory would automatically be annexed to the British empire.
