quasi-religious community/sect which was introduced by Karam Shah of North Bengal. Son of
Karam Shah and successor Tipu was inspired with religious and political purposes. Tipu and

The policy of 'Security Cell" is related to Warren Hastings and Wellesley. Warren Hastings
fought with Mysore and Marathas to achieve status equivalent to other Indian states. During
this time the company tried to form buffer state (also known as Ring Fence) with an aim to
protect its state from Afghans and Marathas. Thus, they agreed to protect Awadh on the
condition that the Nawab of Oudh will bear the expenses. The main aim of Wellesley was to
enforce Indian states to rely on his army power. The British policies towards Indian
states were-
1. Company's struggle for equality with Indian provinces. (1740-1765 AD)
2. Security cell' or the policy of siege. (1765-1813 AD)
3. Subordinate separation policy. (1813-1857 AD)

the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976 on the recommendation of Swaran Singh Committee.
