ALLIANCE had been imposed on Awadh in 1801; by the terms of this alliance the NAWAB had to disband his military force, allow the British to position their troops within the kingdom, and act in accordance with the advice of the British Resident who was now to be attached to the court.Deprived of his armed forces, the Nawab became increasingly dependent on the British to maintain law and order within the kingdom and he COULD no longer assert control over the rebellious chiefs and taluqdars.In the meantime the British became increasingly interested in acquiring the territory of Awadh as they felt that the soil there was good for producing indigo and cotton, and the region was ideally located to be developed into the principal market of Upper INDIA.By the early 1850s, moreover, all the major areas of India had been conquered: the Maratha lands, the Doab, the Carnatic, the Punjab and Bengal & the takeover of Awadh in 1856 was expected to complete a process of territorial annexation that had begun with the conquest of Bengal almost a century earlier.Nawab Wajid Ali Shah was dethroned and exiled to Calcutta on the plea that the region was being misgoverned.The British government also wrongly assumed that Wajid Ali Shah was an unpopular RULER, on the contrary, he was widely loved, and when he left his beloved Lucknow, there were many who followed him all the way to Kanpur singing songs of lament.Hence, both the statement are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
