Answer 1

Answer:

In Bundelkhand, the state of Jhansi was held by a Maratha chief who was actually a vassal of the Peshwa. In 1806, the state was promised “British protection” to the Maratha Chief. But in 1817, the Peshwa in Poona ceded all his rights over Bundelkhand to the British East India Company.

Answer 2

After the death of the Raja in November 1853 because Damodar Rao was adopted, the British East India company, under Governor - General Lord Dalhousie, applied the Doctrine of Lapse , rejecting Damodar Rao's claim to the throne and annexing the state to its territories.
