Subsidiary Alliance System:
- The Subsidiary Alliance system of doctrine was introduced by Lord Richard Wellesley from 1798 to 1805.
According to it:
♦ Any Indian ruler accepting the subsidiary alliance with East India Company had to keep the British Army within their territory and was supposed to pay for its maintenance.
♦ In lieu of the payments, some of the states territory was ceded to the British.
♦ The ruler accepting it was forced to keep a British official at the court called 'Resident'.
♦ The states brought under British control by this system included Hyderabad, Gwalior, Indore, Jaipur, Jodhpur , Oudh.
