Answer:

Doctrine of Lapse:

This was the brainchild of Lord Dalhousie. This policy was introduced to bring more states directly under british rule. According to this, If a ruler of a subsidiary state died without leaving a natural heir, the state would lapse or be taken over by the British. Adopted successors were not allowed to the throne.

IMPACTS :

States of Satara, Nagpur and Jhansi were annexed.

The titles and pensions of some ex rulers were not recognised.

Nana Saheb , the adopted son of maratha ruler Peshwa Bajirao II, Did not get his pension
