    FIGHTS WITHIN INDIA
    (AS BRITISH MILITARY)

    • In what year did you fight your first battle?


    It was 1757, the Battle Of Plassey was my first battle which was fought against
    Siraj ud Daulah (the Nawab of Bengal) alongside his French Allies, all of whom
    were defeated.
    • Were you also part of Battle of Buxar 1764?
    Yes indeed, the battle was fought against the Nawab of Bengal but this time Mir
    Qasim who had formed an alliance with Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, resulting
    in a tremendous victory for us. We finally got Bengal under our control

    • What do you know about the Indian Rebellions and Wars that occurred
    later?
    Our British heroes fought many battles, to name a few would include Battles
    against Mysore, Marathas and the Sikhs. All of whom were defeated one by one
    and we were able to capture the lands and territories that they had under their
    possession. It indeed marked the beginning of a new era of British Rule and the
    colonization of India had begun.

    • Who were you fighting against in the battle of Plassey?


    I being a soldier of Bengal was fighting against British, and it was the victory for British over The Nawab
    of Bengal, Siraj ud Daulah.
    • What were the reasons that led to Battle of Plassey?
    The trouble between the Nawab of Bengal and British led to battle of Plassey
    EIC (East India Company) wanted to establish a puppet ruler on the throne Bengal, knowing about this,
    Siraj ordered British to not interfere in his matter but the company refused which was also the reason for
    the cause of battle.
    Non payment of taxes and duties by the worker of EIC.
    • Can you tell us about the consequences of the battle?
    Yeah sure, Siraj was defeated, captured, executed in his own capital. Britishers gained political and
    economic power in Bengal. Company would now trade with Bengal without any restrictions.

    DOCTRINE OF LAPS
    (AS RANI OF JHANSI)

    • What tragedy default you?


    This all started from the adoption of my son Damodar Rao, occurred on the day before the
    Maharaja’s death. The adoption was in the presence of the British political officer. After the
    death of the Maharaja because Damodar Rao was adopted, Lord Dalhousie applied
    the Doctrine of Lapse, rejecting Damodar Rao's claim to the throne 
    • What is the policy of doctrine of lapse?
    Doctrine of lapse was actually the pro-imperialist approach to expend the realm of British
    kingdom in idea it was introduced by lord Dalhousie he used this policy to overtake the
    independence of Indian state especially of those states which do not had heir means they
    have expired the right of ruling and would not be able to return by adoption
    • What will you going to do about it?
    I have decided to plan a war against them so that I can claim my right of throne

    ( A S A N AWA B O F H Y D E RA B A D )

    • What you think about the doctrine of subsidiary alliance?


    It’s a policy introduced by lord according to which the ruler has to let go some of his
    power such as painting his own army or formulation its own foreign policy he also has
    to host British troops in his area and also have to pay a heavy fee for the added security.
    • Why do you think the British were successful with this policy?
    The third battle of Panipat against had already faced the way for Britishers. Many came
    under British control under the called doctrine of lapse and subsidiary alliance.
    Subsidiary gained war or Marathas native states system of alliance Alliance Policy
    British East India Company control of Indian Princely States without! any Cael Tits
    policy also helped Britishers expand And Maintain army all over India They made
    Indian rulers to pay for it.

    Part by: Zain Ahmed Siddiqui


    • What do you think of such unfair policy?
    It was nothing but a contract of vassalage which reduced the power of the local
    kingdoms while strengthening the colonial power of the British.

    Part by: Zain Siddiqui


    ANNEXATION

    • The expansion of the British Empire in India was partly due to the policy of annexation.
    • Annexation is the administrative action and concept in international law relating to the forcible
    acquisition of one's state territory by another state and is generally held to be an illegal act.
    • The annexed regions included the North-Western Provinces (comprising Rohilkhand,
    Gorakhpur, and the Doab) (1801), Delhi (1803), Assam ([Ahom Kingdom] 1828), and Sindh
    (1843). Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, and Kashmir were annexed after the Anglo-Sikh
    Wars in 1849–56 (Period of tenure of Marquess of Dalhousie Governor-General); however,
    Kashmir was immediately sold under the Treaty of Amritsar (1850) to the Dogra Dynasty of
    Jammu and became a princely state. In 1854 Berar was annexed, and the state of Oudh two
    years later.
