Explanation:

Subsidiary Alliance System was initiated by Lord Wellesley, under this the Company entered into an agreement with the Indian State, Under which the Indian State was to surrender the foreign/external relations to the company. It could not wage war against any other state without the permission from the Company. A British Resident was to stay in the headquarters of the Indian State as the representative of the Company.
A small British force was to be stationed in the Headquarters of the Indian State ostensibly to protect the State. The expenses of the force were to be defrayed from the Indian State. Asper the agreement the Company could not interfere in the internal affairs of the State, but in practice the Company interfered in the internal affairs on the flimsiest of reasons.
