उत्तर
Two terms of the Subsidiary Alliance would greatly impact me as an Indian ruler signing it:
- I would have to turn in my foreign alliances to the East India Company. This implies that, without British permission, I, the ruler, would no longer have the power to form any diplomatic or military alliances.
- I would have to let British troops be housed on my land at my own expense.
- I would have to pledge not to engage any Europeans in my service without first informing the Company and accept a British Resident in my court.
