Discussion
Which of the following is the correct sequence in which states were annexed under the Doctrine of Lapse, from the earliest to the last ?
Answer: A
The correct order is Satara, Sambalpur, Udaipur, Nagpur, Jhansi.
Lord Dalhousie, Governor-General from 1848 to 1856, used the Doctrine of Lapse to annex a state whose ruler died without a male heir, refusing to recognise an adopted son. The annexations followed one another almost yearly:
- Satara: 1848
- Sambalpur: 1850
- Udaipur: 1852
- Nagpur: 1853
- Jhansi: 1854
The Udaipur here is the small state in central India, not Mewar. The other options misplace Sambalpur before Satara, or put Nagpur ahead of Udaipur, so only the first sequence runs from earliest to last.
