What is the meaning of Indian princes were short sighted.......short sighted meaning give also according to text

Dear Student,
Short sighted refers to thinking only about short term goals and not the consequences of such goals in the coming future.
The Indian Princes were short sighted in thinking that taking the help of the British would help them defeat their fellow Indian rulers forgetting the fact that the Britishers were not their own people and that the British could cheat on them.
Regards
