The Governor General Lord Dalhousie introduced a new policy, known as the Doctrine of Lapse. According to this policy, if the king did not have any natural born heir then the kingdom would lapse to the British or would be administered and occupied by the British. Indian states such as Satara, Nagpur and Jhansi were annexed under this policy.
