Question:
how did company's claim pormundacy
Answer:
Under Lord Hastings (GovernorGeneral from 1813 to 1823) a new policy of “paramountcy”
was initiated. Now the Company claimed that its authority was paramount or supreme, hence its power was greater
than that of Indian states. In order to protect its interests it was justified in annexing or threatening to annex
any Indian kingdom.
