Hope it helps....!!!

______________

✔️From 1757 to 1857, the East India Company used a variety of political, economic and diplomatic methods to annex Indian kingdoms.

✔️The subsidiary alliance was one such method.

✔️According to the terms of this alliance, Indian rulers were not allowed to have their independent armed forces.

✔️They were to be protected by the Company, and had to pay for the “subsidiary forces” that the Company had to maintain for the purpose of protecting them.

✔️If Indian rulers failed to make the payment, then part of their territory was taken away as penalty.

✔️For example, in 1801, the nawab of Awadh was forced to give over half of his territory to the Company for failing to pay for the “subsidiary forces”.
