3. How did Lord Comwallis organise the Indian Civil Services? Why were there​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 . The doctrine of lapse was an annexation policy applied by the British East India Company in India until 1859. ... The latter supplanted the long-established right of an Indian sovereign without an heir to choose a successor.The company took over the princely states of Satara (1848), Jaitpur and Sambalpur (1849), Bhagat (1850), Udaipur (Chhattisgarh) (1852), Jhansi (1853), Nagpur (1854), Tore and Arcot (1855) under the terms of the doctrine of lapse. Oudh (1856) is widely believed to have been annexed under the Doctrine of Lapse.

3 Revenue collection was the main task of the district collector. He also used to maintain law and order in order to collect the revenue peacefully. Later on, the civil services were reformed and modernised by Lord Cornwallis and hence he is called the “Father of Indian Civil Service”.
