    Following the collapse of the Maratha Empire, many Maratha families and states became

    vassals in a subsidiary alliance with the British, forming the biggest group of princely states
    in the British Raj in terms of area and people. [citation required] After the First Anglo-Sikh
    War in 1846, the British government gave Kashmir to Maharaja Gulab Singh under the
    conditions of the Treaty of Amritsar, and the Dogra family established the princely state of
    Jammu and Kashmir, the second-largest princely state in British India. [362][363] While in
    Eastern and Northeastern India, the British seized the Hindu and Buddhist states of Cooch
    Behar Kingdom, Twipra Kingdom, and Kingdom of Sikkim and made them subordinate
    princely states.
