• Doctrine of Lapse was an annexation policy conceived by Lord Dalhousie, the Governor General from 1848 - 1856.

• According to this doctrine, if an indian ruler under the direct influence of the English East India Company died without a male heir, his kingdom would ‘lapse’, meaning it would become a part of the British dominion.

• According to the Hindu Law, an individual or a ruler could adopt a male child in the absence of natural heir.

• However it was asserted that such adoptions would have to seek the prior approval of the British.

• In reality they refused adoptions and on this pretext annexed several kingdoms such as those in Satara, Sambalpur, Udaipur, Nagpur and Jhansi.
