Modern India: Rebels and the Raj

Question:
Which of the following is a feature of the Policy of Subsidiary Alliance of British India?
Options:
disbanding of military force
allow the British to position their troops within the kingdom
act in accordance with the advice of the British Resident who was now to be attached to the court.
All of the above
Correct Answer:
All of the above
Explanation:
By the terms of this alliance the Nawab had to disband his military force, allow the British to position their troops within the kingdom, and act in accordance with the advice of the British Resident who was now to be attached to the court. Deprived of his armed forces, the Nawab became increasingly dependent on the British to maintain law and order within the kingdom. He could no longer assert control over the rebellious chiefs and taluqdars.
