Question

what were the outcomes for the indians of the subsidiary alliances and the doctrine of lapse brought into effect by the british?

Answer 1

The doctrine of lapse was an annexation policy applied by the British East India Company in India until 1858. According to the doctrine, any Indian princely state under the suzerainty of the British East India Company (the dominant imperial power in the subcontinent), as a vassal state under the British subsidiary system, would have its princely status abolished (and therefore annexed into British India) if the ruler was either "manifestly incompetent or died without a male heir".[1] The latter supplanted the long-established right of an Indian sovereign without an heir to choose a successor.[citation needed] In addition, the British decided whether potential rulers were competent enough. The doctrine and its application were widely regarded by many Indians as illegitimate.

The policy is most commonly associated with Lord Dalhousie, who was the Governor General of the East India Company in India between 1848 and 1856. However, it was articulated by the Court of Directors of the East India Company as early as 1834 and several smaller states were already annexed under this doctrine before Dalhousie took over the post of Governor-General. Dalhousie used the policy most vigorously and extensively, though, so it is generally associated with him. The accession of Lord Dalhousie inaugurated a new chapter in the history of British India. He functioned as the Governor-General of India from 1848-1856.

Answer 2

The following are the outcomes of the Subsidiary alliances and the Doctrine of Lapse for Indians.

Explanation:

The following are the outcomes of the Subsidiary alliances and the Doctrine of Lapse for Indians:

• Lord Wellesley introduced the system of Subsidiary Alliance to subjugate Indian states without the expense and efforts of war.
• The Indian rulers who felt a threat to their administration were encouraged to seek help from the British and enter into an alliance.
• At the same time, the Doctrine of Lapse was a policy following which if any Indian ruler died without a natural heir, his territory would be annexed to the British domain.
• Both the policies bound Indian rulers to the British government. As a result of this Indian rulers launched revolts against the authority of British government.
