Subsidiary alliance was forcefully imposed. It means that No Indian king is allowed to keep personal army/band. British will provide army but in return Indian king need to pay Subsidiary force. If any king failed to pay then piece of kingdom subjugated (forcefully taken). Many Indian king refused to do so then British attacked on them and because of superior weapon British won many kingdom. Many Indian kingdom was also Subjugated as Subsidiary force was too high. Mysore also came under Subsidiary force after death of Tipu Sultan. Now, Britisher also had another policy within Subsidiary Alliance policy it was that Residents were placed in almost all Indian kingdom. Resident were the representative of EIC. They used to interfere in political matter of Indian kingdom. Many king refused but their Kingdom was captured. Awadh was the last state to be captured subsidiary force was imposed on Awadh in 1801 and Awadh was captured in 1856. Awadh was paying subsidiary force regularly but then why was it captured? Let it be a mystery till next post till then bye...
