Answer 2

According to the terms of this alliance :-
•Indian rulers were no allowed to have their independent armed forces
•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 their protection.
•If the Indian rulers failed to make the payment,then part of their territory was taken away as penalty.
For example:-In 1801 the Nawab of Awash was forced to give over the half of his territory to the company for failing to pay for the "SUBSIDIARY FORCES"
