Lord Dalhousie was the British governor general in India from 1847 to 1856 who, by his conquestes and annexations of independent provinces as well as of the central Indian State, created the map of modern India both.

Explanation:

• In January 1848, when Dalhousie came to India , the country seemed calm. But the army of Punjab, an independent state established by Sikh religious and military sects, had  fought two years earlier  a war that had  the British had won with great difficulty . The new Sikh rule, which had the British support, caused discontents and economic discipline, and a local revolt broke out at Multan in April 1848.
• This was Dalhousie's first serious issue. Local officials called for immediate action but he delayed, and in Punjab  Sikh disaffection had been spreading. Dalhousie deplored British troops in November of 1848, and Punjab became annexed in 1849 after several British victories.
• Critics of Dalhousie maintained that he had permitted the local rebellion to become a national uprising so that Punjab could be annexed. However he had been warned by the "Commander in Chief of the British Army about the "preciptate action ".
