The doctrine of subsidiary alliance was introduced by Lord Wellesley, British Governor-General in India
from 1798 to 1805. Early in his governorship Wellesley adopted a policy of non-intervention in the princely states, but he later adopted the policy of forming subsidiary alliances. This policy was to play a major role in British expansion in India.
According to the term of this alliance, Indian rulers were not allowed to have their independent armed force. They were to be protected by the company, but had to pay for the 'subsidiary forces' that the company was supposed to maintain for the purpose of this protection.
If the Indian rulers failed to make the payment, then part of their territory was taken away as penalty. The Nizam of Hyderabad was the first to enter into such an alliance. Tipu Sultan of Mysore refused to do so,but after the British victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, Mysore was forced to become a subsidiary
state. The Nawab of Awadh was the next to accept the Subsidiary Alliance, in 1801. After the Third Anglo-Maratha War, the Maratha ruler Baji Rao II also accepted a subsidiary alliance.
