Answer:

Question 1: Do you think the Indian princes were short-sighted in their approach to the events of 1857?

Answer: The dialogue shown in the comics indicates that Indian princes were selfish. They always thought of protecting their fiefdom. The idea of nationhood was not present. For them their princely estates were of utmost importance. In order to strengthen their stranglehold they were ready to be pawn in the hands of British.

Question 2: How did the East India Company subdue the Indian princes?

Answer: The internal rivalry between various princes was enough for British to pit them against each other. This was a good example of their, ‘Divide and Rule Policy’. Internal fighting weakened them to the point when East India Company could easily subdue them.
