General knowledge

Lord Dalhousie's Doctrine of Lapse led to the annexation of Satara, Jhansi and Nagpur; Awadh was annexed in 1856 on grounds of misgovernance, one cause of the 1857 revolt.

लॉर्ड डलहौज़ी की व्यपगत नीति (Doctrine of Lapse) से सतारा, झाँसी और नागपुर का विलय हुआ; अवध को 1856 में कुशासन के आधार पर मिलाया गया, जो 1857 के विद्रोह का एक कारण था।
