Dear Sir,

I visited your blog http://hssthistory.blogspot.com & found it helpful.

I am an UPSC aspirant & have to cover modern India for my GS paper.

I need to know what was Subordinate Isolation Policy of British (& why it was called so, what sort of Isolation???)

Also, what was the Subordinate Union Policy of British (& why it was called so???)

I have surfed internet but am not finding any satisfactory answer.

It would be a great help if you can enlighten me.

Yours sincerely,
