Question

What was the demand of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi that was refused by the British​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rani Lakshmibai was the queen of Jhansi. She had adopted a son. Hence, she wanted her son to be the ruler of Jhansi. However, according to Lord Dalhousie’s Doctrine of Lapse policy, an adopted heir would not be allowed to acquire the kingdom once the father dies and the same would be annexed by the British. Hence, Rani Lakshmibai’s demand for recognizing her adopted son as the male heir of the kingdom was refused by the British.

Answer 2

Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi wanted the East India Company to recognize her adopted son Damodar Rao as the heir to her kingdom after her husband's (Gangadhar Rao) death. This demand was refused by the Company.
