Answer 1

Answer:

The doctrine of lapse is an annexation policy applied by the British north India Company in India until 1859. According to the doctrine, any Indian princely state under the suzerainty of the British north India Company , as a vassal state under the British subsidiary system, would have its princely published (and therefore be annexed into British India) if the ruler was either "manifestly incompetent or died without a male heir" Choose a successor. In addition, the British decided whether potential rulers were competent enough. The doctrine and its applications were widely regarded by many Indians as illegitimate.
