Lord Dalhousie : John Singer Sargent
Some of the Indian princes were loyal to the British and were good and kind towards their people. Some other princes were carelessly neglecting their duties and were rolling in luxury. Lord Dalhousie could not tolerate the existence of the native rulers within the boundaries of the British Empire.
He therefore started working on the process of annexing the territories of the Indian princes and introduced the famous Doctrine of Lapse. By the application of this policy he disallowed the Indian rajas to adopt sons and whenever he would die without a natural heir his state should be taken over by the British Government.
