Answer 1

Lord Dalhousie is a Scottish nobleman. In Indian history, the doctrine of lapse is a formula devised by Lord Dalhousie, Governor-General of India (1848-56) to cope with succession issues in Hindu Indian governments.

What are the main features of Doctrine of Lapse?

• The idea of lapse, initially used by Lord Dalhousie in the late 1840s, was a famous British tactic. The British prevented a Hindu ruler without a natural heir from adopting a successor and annexed his land after the ruler died or abdicated.

• The ideology of lapse's principal goal was to acquire independent Indian states.

• A king without a natural heir is unable to lead his country and must transfer it up to the British.

• The doctrine of lapse annexed Udaipur, Sambalpur, Jhansi, and other Indian states.
