Conclusion
The Battle of Plassey was the
foundation of British dominion in India. The company’s administration was not
for the interests of people. It was imperialistic, expansionist and
exploitative. It brought more Indian territories under British domain through
subsidiary Alliance and Doctrine of Lapse. This policy led to a South Indian
rebellion (1800 -01), Vellore Rebellion (1806) and the Great Rebellion (1857).
