Native states of RajasthanTreaties with the English Company (1818 AD)by doingFreedom from the anarchy created by Marathasand also became sure about the external security of the state, because now the company had also taken the responsibility of protecting their state from external attacks. But as soon as the Company officials started implementing the conditions mentioned in the treaties, the hereditary rights of the kings were under attack. By interfering in the internal affairs of the states, the Company also attacked the sovereignty of the native kings and their status became like that of feudal lords and vassals of the Company. The position, dignity and rights of the feudal lords were also affected by the policies of the Company. As a result of the economic policies adopted by the Company, all classes including kings, feudal lords, farmers, traders, artisans and laborers suffered. Many side effects of the treaties made with the Company came to light, which formed the background of the Revolution of 1857.
