उत्तर
The British brought several Indian states under their control using the Subsidiary Alliance system, which was introduced by Lord Wellesley. Under this system, Indian rulers had to accept the presence of British troops within their territories and pay for their maintenance. In return, they were promised protection from external threats and internal rebellions, but they also lost their sovereignty in foreign affairs.
Two prominent Indian states that came under British control through the Subsidiary Alliance were Hyderabad and Awadh (Oudh). Hyderabad was the first state to accept the alliance in 1798, while Awadh was later forced into the agreement in 1801. This system allowed the British to expand their influence without direct annexation and played a crucial role in establishing British supremacy in India.
