Doctrine of lapse was the policy of british which was implemented by Lord Dalhousie , the former governer general of India. Any state in India which was not having any male heir, would be handed over to the East India Company. And even adopted male child was not allowed for coronation. Such a policy was implemented to acquire many staes including Jhansi

According to Doctrine of Lapse, if an Indian ruler of dependant state did not have his son to succeed ( take his position) him, the ruler/king was not allowed to adopt a successor without company's consent.

The main idea behind this policy was that to expand the realm of British Kingdom in India.

It was introduced by then Governor General of East India Company - Lord Dalhousie.(1848 A.D).

It was against Hindu law, where the ruler/king without any male offspring of his own could adopt any male child of any age from the branch of the royal family to enthrone him as the ruler of the Kingdom.

As the Indians were not happy with the British policy, the result of this was Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.

After the call off from the new British Viceroy of India, Doctrine of Lapse rule ended in the year 1858.

States that were annexed by Dalhousie by applying ‘Doctrine of Lapse’ are as follows:

1. The States of Satara (1848 AD)
2. Jaipur (1849 AD)
3. Sambhalpur (1849 AD)
4. Bahat (1850 A.D)
5. Udaipur (1852 AD)
6. Jhansi (1853 AD)
7. Nagpur (1854 AD)
