The British destroyed the Indian textile system primarily through policies that favored British manufactured goods over Indian textiles. They imposed heavy tariffs and taxes on Indian goods while allowing British imports to enter India duty-free. Additionally, the British established a monopoly over raw materials and production, effectively undermining local artisans and weavers. This led to widespread unemployment and economic decline in India's textile industry, which had been a vital part of its economy and culture.

Who initiated the subsidiary alliance system?

The subsidiary alliance system was initiated by Lord Wellesley, the British Governor-General of India, in the late 18th century. This strategy aimed to establish British dominance in India by requiring Indian rulers to accept British military support while maintaining their sovereignty. In return, these rulers had to maintain British troops within their territories and follow British policies. The system effectively expanded British control over Indian princely states while minimizing direct administration.


What is subsidiary alliance?

The Subsidiary Alliance system was used by Lord Wellesley, who was Governor-General of India from 1798-1805, to build an empire in India. Under the system, the allying Indian state's ruler was compelled to accept the permanent stationing of a British force within his territory and to pay a subsidy for its maintenance. Also, the Indian ruler had to agree to the posting of a British Resident in his court. Under the Subsidiary Treaty, the Indian ruler could not employ any European in his service without the prior approval of the British. Nor could he negotiate with any other Indian ruler without consulting the Governor-General. In return for all this, the British agreed to defend the ruler from his enemies and adopt a policy of non-interference in the internal matters of the allied state. Subsidiary Alliance brought immense gains for the East India Company by extending the areas under British control and bringing relative peace in subsidies and territory. During the seven-year rule of Wellesley alone, over 100 small and big states of India signed the Subsidiary Treaty.
