Doctrine Of Lapse




At the time of its adoption, the Company had absolute, imperial administrative jurisdiction over many regions spread over the subcontinent. The company took over the princely states of Satara ( 1848 ), Jaitpur and Sambalpur ( 1849 ), Nagpur and Jhansi ( 1854 ) and Awadh (Oudh) ( 1856 ) using the Doctrine. With its increasing influence, discontent simmered amongst many sections of the society and the largely indigenous armed forces, who rallied behind the deposed dynasties, during the First War Of Independence (known by British as Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 ).
