apostasy
the doctrine of lapse was an annexation policy devised by lord dalhousie, who was the british governor-general of india between 1848 and 1856. according to the doctrine, any princely state or territory under the direct influence (paramountcy) of the british east india company (the dominant imperial power in the subcontinent), as a vassal state under the british subsidiary system, would automatically be annexed if the ruler was either "manifestly incompetent or died without a direct heir". the latter supplanted the long-established legal right of an indian sovereign without an heir to choose a successor. in addition, the british were to decide whether potential rulers were competent enough. the doctrine and its application were widely regarded by indians as illegitimate. at that time, the company had absolute, imperial administrative jurisdiction over many regions spread over the subcontinent. the company took over the princely states of satara (1848), jaipur and sambalpur (1849), baghat (1850), nagpur (1853), and jhansi (1854) using this doctrine. the british took over awadh (oudh) (1856) claiming that the local ruler was not ruling properly. the company added about four million pounds sterling to its annual revenue by the use of this doctrine. with the increasing power of the east india company, discontent simmered amongst sections of indian society and the largely indigenous armed jhansi forces; these joined with members of the deposed dynasties during the indian rebellion of 1857.
