What was the effect of appointment of residents on indian rulers?
→ Through residents, company officials began to interfere in the internal affairs of the Indian states. Little by little, the Company began to force the states to form a "subsidiary alliance." Under the terms of their alliance, the Indian rulers were not allowed to have their independent armed forces. They were to be protected by the Company, but they had to pay for the "Subsidiary Forces" that the Company was supposed to maintain for the purposes of this protection. If the Indian rulers did not comply with the payment, part of their territory was taken away as punishment.
