Question

Which policy was used by lord dalhousie against rani lakhmi bai?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Doctrine of Lapse.

Lord Dalhousie had introduced this policy which stated that a ruler who had no direct heir would have to surrender and give their kingdoms to British. If they did not, then the result was war.

Rani Lakshmi Bai had a adopted son, Damodar Rao. When the king, Gangadhar Rao died, he had no direct heir. So, his wife Lakshmi Bai became the queen. This angered the British and it resulted in war because according to the Doctrine of Lapse, Damodar Rao was not the real son of Gangadhar Rao and the kingdom of Jhansi should have been given to the Britishers.

• lord dalhousie announced that on death of the king his successor would have to leave the imperial palace( the red fort). later, lord canning made it known that bahadur shah's successor would not be allowed to use imperial title. this is how lord dalhousie and lord canning smacked of discourtesy to the mughal emperor.
