Answer:
The East India Company, which started initially as a trading company, had, by 1773, acquired territorial control over Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Madras and Bombay. The Nawab of Awadh and Carnatic were their dependents.
However, after 1765 they had to face stiff opposition from the Marathas, Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan of Mysore, and the Sikhs. The East India Company had to subjugate these powers in order to be paramount in India.
The First Mysore War:
In 1769 A.D. Haider Ali defeated the British in the First Anglo-Mysore War and besieged Madras. The English were forced to sign a treaty according to which they promised to come to Haider Ali’s help if he was attacked by another power in future. This treaty undoubtedly raised the prestige of Haider Ali.

The Third Mysore War (1790-1792 A.D.)
Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799 A.D.)
The First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782 A.D.)
The Second Maratha War (1803 A.D. – 1805 A.D.)
