Hey user...!!!!!

Your answer----

Answer: Lord Dolhousie became Governor – General in 1848. He devised a policy called doctrine of Lapse. According to it, when the ruler of kingdom under British protection died without a natural heir, his territory would pass to the British. He annexed many kingdoms under the Doctrine of Lapse for e.g. – Jhansi, Nagpur, Satara.
Another pretext Dalhousie used to annex territories in India was misgovernment. For e.g. – Nawab Wajid Ali shah of Awadh was accused of misrule and reluctance to introduce reforms. Awadh was annexed in 1856.
