Answer:
1)Other than direct conquest the British had 3 other main methods of annexation of Indian states. 2) Subsidiary Alliance-Under this system the ruler of a native state had to give up or reduce his own army and pay the British for the maintenance of British troops in the state and being guaranteed protection.
2)Subsidiary Alliance was basically a treaty between the British East India Company and the Indian princely states, by virtue of which the Indian kingdoms lost their sovereignty to the English. It also was a major process that led to the building of the British Empire in India.
3)The doctrine of lapse was an annexation policy applied by the British East India Company in India until 1859. ... The latter supplanted the long-established right of an Indian sovereign without an heir to choose a successor. In addition, the British decided whether potential rulers were competent enough.
