Answer 2

Answer:

The early history of British expansion in India was characterised by the co-existence of two approaches towards the existing princely states.[1] The first was a policy of annexation, where the British sought to forcibly absorb the Indian princely states into the provinces which constituted their Empire in India. The second was a policy of indirect rule, where the British assumed suzerainty and paramountcy over princely states, but conceded to them sovereignty and varying degrees of internal self-government.
