The East India Company had devised a policy of forcing States in India into a ‘subsidiary alliance’, which was in fact a ploy to exercise political control over them. The terms of this type of alliance dictated that Indian rulers were not supposed to maintain their own independent armies. They were to be protected by the Company and had to pay for the ‘subsidiary forces’ which the Company deployed for their protection. If the Indian rulers failed to make the payments, then a part of their territory was taken over as penalty for default. For example, in 1801, the Nawab of Awadh had to relinquish control over half of his territory to the Company as he failed to pay for the subsidiary forces. The state of Hyderabad also had to cede territories on similar grounds.
