This policy was applied by the British East India Company in the early 19th century, and it led to the annexation of many princely states in India.<\/p>\n<p>The Doctrine of Lapse was controversial, and it was opposed by many Indian nationalists. However, the British government defended the policy, arguing that it was necessary to maintain order and stability in India.<\/p>\n<p>The Doctrine of Lapse was finally abolished in 1947, when India gained independence from the British. However, the policy had a lasting impact on the history of India, and it is still debated today.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> a: Annexation of princely states.
