Ans: Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi demanded the company to recognize her adopted son as the heir of the kingdom after the death of her husband. ... By 'Doctrine of Lapse' introduced by Lord Dalhousie, if an Indian ruler died without a male heir his kingdom would 'lapse' and such kingdom would be annexed by the British Empire.
