Answer 2

Mysore was not ‘annexed’ under the ‘doctrine of Lapse’.

Explanation:

• Mysore state did not have a ‘natural heir’ and it was not annexed under the ‘doctrine of lapse’ by the ‘East India Company’.  

• This was because one of its queens of the Wodeyar Dynasty had cursed the royal family that they shall never have any heir in the state for carrying the dynasty forward.  

• This was probably the reason that a royal couple of the ‘Wodeyar Dynasty’ did not have an heir to the throne of their own.  

• They adopted the sons of other royal kingdoms with whom they had good relationships for being the successor of the ‘Wodeyar Dynasty’.
