Answer:
The doctrine of lapse was a policy of annexation initiated by the British East India Company in India in relation to the princely states, and applied until 1859, two years after Company rule was succeeded by the British Raj. Elements of the doctrine of lapse continued to be applied by the post-Independence Indian government to derecognise individual princely families until 1971, when the former ruling families were collectively derecognised.
