    D. Lord Wellesley 4. Subsidiary Alliance
    Solution
    The Permanent Settlement (also known as Permanent Settlement of Bengal) was introduced by Lord Cornwallis in 1793. It was an agreement between the British East India Company and the landlords of Bengal to settle the land revenue to be raised. Lord Cornwallis came to India as the Governor General.

    The Doctrine of Lapse was an annexation policy, purportedly devised by Lord Dalhousie, who was the Governor General for the East India Company in India between 1848 and 1856. This doctrine was based on the idea that in case a ruler of a dependent state died childless, the right of ruling over the state reverted or 'lapsed' to the sovereign.

    The Bengal Sati Regulation,or Regulation XVII, in India, under the East India Company rule, was signed by the Governor-General Lord William Bentinck, which made the practice of sati or suttee illegal in all jurisdictions of India. A regulation for declaring the practice of sati, or of burning or burying alive the widows of Hindus was made illegal, and punishable by the criminal courts.

    The Subsidiary Alliance System was extremely advantageous to the British. They could now maintain a large army at the cost of the Indian states. Lord Wellesley signed his first Subsidiary Treaty with the Nizam of Hyderabad in 1798. The Nawab of Avadh was forced to sign a Subsidiary Treaty in 1801.

    (d) The Indian War of Independence 4. V. D. Savarkar

It was written in weekly installments and published in his journal, Navjivan, from 1925 to 1929. Its English translation also appeared in installments in his other journal, Young India.
    The Arctic Home in the Vedas is a 1903 book on the origin of Aryanic People by Bal Gangadhar Tilak. It propounded the idea that the North Pole was the original home of Aryans during the pre-glacial period which they had to leave due to the ice deluge around 8000 B.C. and had to migrate to the Northern parts of Europe and Asia in search of lands for new settlements. In support to his theory, Tilak presented certain Vedic hymns, Avestic passages, Vedic chronology and Vedic calendars with interpretations of the contents in detail.
    Naoroji is credited with the founding of the Indian National Congress, along with A.O. Hume and Dinshaw Edulji Wacha. His book, Poverty and Un-British Rule in India, brought attention to the draining of India's wealth into Britain.
    The Indian War of Independence is an Indian nationalist history of the 1857 revolt by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar that was first published in 1909. The book, initially written in Marathi, was penned by Savarkar in response to celebrations in Britain of the 50th anniversary of the 1857 Indian uprising, with records from India Office archives and the whole project received support from Indian nationalists in Britain, including the likes of Madame Cama, V.V.S. Iyer and M.P.T. Acharya, as well as Indian students who had dared not show their support or sympathy for India House openly.

The Swaraj Party was formed by Motilal Nehru and Chittaranjan Das in order to fight British colonialism from within and give the people of India a responsible and responsive government by making the colonial state accountable.
