About this test

Anglo-Mysore, Maratha and Sikh Wars GK Practice Quiz: Level 2

This Level 2 GK quiz on Aptitude360 builds your understanding of how the East India Company expanded through the Anglo-Mysore, Anglo-Maratha and Anglo-Sikh wars, the subsidiary alliance and paramountcy. It also covers the Kitoor resistance and the Afghan campaign, and every question comes with an explanation.

What this Modern Indian History quiz covers

  • Company policy: subsidiary alliance, paramountcy, the role of Residents, and territory taken from Awadh and Hyderabad
  • Mysore: Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan, the sandalwood and pepper export ban, and the fall of Seringapatam
  • Marathas: the confederacy under the Peshwa at Pune, Mahadji Sindhia and Nana Phadnis, and the Peshwa's exile to Bithur
  • Kitoor: Rani Channamma's revolt and the guerrilla resistance of Rayanna of Sangoli
  • North-west: Punjab after Ranjit Singh, the Anglo-Sikh wars, Sind and the Afghan war

Key concepts and question types to revise

  • Why Mysore's control of Malabar trade threatened Company commerce
  • Terms of the subsidiary alliance and the penalty for failing to pay
  • Chronology questions linking annexations, battles and rulers' deaths
  • Matching Governors-General and rulers with their periods
  • Multi-statement questions on Kitoor, Mysore and the Marathas

Revision tips for the Anglo wars

  • Draw one timeline with parallel rows for Mysore, the Marathas and the Sikhs so overlapping events stay clear.
  • Pair each Governor-General with his main policy, such as Wellesley with the subsidiary alliance and Dalhousie with the annexation of Punjab.
  • Note the outcome of each final war, such as Tipu's death at Seringapatam and the Peshwa being pensioned off.
