Answer:

Doctrine of lapse, in Indian history, formula devised by Lord Dalhousie, governor-general of India (1848–56), to deal with questions of succession to Hindu Indian states. It was a corollary to the doctrine of paramountcy, by which Great Britain, as the ruling power of the Indian subcontinent, claimed the superintendence of the subordinate Indian states and so also the regulation of their succession. The rule was that any ruler dynasty would only be ruled by his or her son not by any adopted children. If the ruler does not have successor of his throne then ultimately the British government will take over it.
