UPSC 2018: Which one of the following statements does not apply to the system of Subsidiary Alliance introduced by Lord Wellesley ?
(a)To maintain a large standing army at other’s expense
(b)To keep India safe from Napoleonic danger
(c)To secure a fixed income for the Company
(d)To establish British paramountcy over the Indian States
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) To secure a fixed income for the Company
The Subsidiary Alliance obliged Indian rulers to maintain British troops at their cost (a), accept British ‘protection’ against the French/Napoleonic threat (b) and thereby acknowledge British paramountcy (d). Its principal aim was strategic-political, not fundraising; although subsidies were taken, the arrangement was never conceived as a guaranteed, fixed revenue stream for the Company, so statement 3 is NOT applicable.
