Question

Name the annexation policy introduced by the person in picture​

Answer 1

Answer:

The name of the person in this picture is : Lord Hastings (Governor from 1813 to 1823)

Explanation:

Under Lord Hastings a new policy of "paramountacy" was initiated. Now the company claimed its authority was paramount or supreme, hence its power was greater than that of Indian States. In order to protect its interests it was justified in annexing or threating to annex any Indian Kingdom. This view continued to guide later British Policies as well.
