Answer 2

The British policy of providing military assistance to Indian rulers

Explanation:

• The British Indian Army was the British Indian Empire's major military force until it was decommissioned in 1947.
• It was in charge of defending both the British Indian Empire and princely kingdoms with their own armies.
• During the First and Second World Wars, the Indian Army played a vital role in the British Empire's armies, both in India and abroad.
• The Indian Army arose in the years following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, known in British history as the Indian Mutiny, when the Crown assumed direct control of British India from the East India Company in 1858.
• The Indian Army's precursor troops were forces that existed prior to 1858.
