Question

Please explain these points shortly

• The ruler would not keep an army of his own
• He would keep a British army (a subsidiary force), which was
supposedly for his protection, and pay for its maintenance The
ruler could also cede part of his territory to the British instead
of maintaining the British army
• The ruler would have to take permission from the British
before entering into an alliance with another ruler or declaring
war against another kingdom
• A British officer called the 'Resident'
would be stationed at the ruler's court Also, no official of any
other European power would be allowed in the court The subsidiary
arrangement was advantageous to the British
• They could maintain a large army without having to bear the
cost of it
• They indirectly controlled the defence and foreign affairs
of the protected ally, and could overthrow the ruler and annex his
territories whenever they wished
• The 'Resident' could interfere in the internal affairs of
the kingdom to further the interests of the Company

Dear student

This paragraph talks about the Subsidiary arrangement
It is followed by a ruler in which he appoints a person from
British army who will protect ruler
In return British army will get a part of ruler's territory

Also this para talks about 'Resident' -refers to the person who
will remain outside ruler's court and can interfere with defence
and foreign affairs of ruler's court

Hope this will make you clear about the paragraph
If you come across any doubt, please just post here on the
