Detailed Solution

Satara was annexed on the basis of the 'Doctrine of Lapse' policy. Lord Dalhousie implemented the Doctrine of Lapse. Under him, the final wave of annexation occurred in India. Lord According to this Doctrine, an Indian ruler with no male heir would be compelled to give up on his kingdom. In simple words, if an Indian ruler did not have a biological male heir, his kingdom would "lapse" and would be liable to become a part of the East India Company territory. Many kingdoms were "lapsed" in this way. Some include kingdoms like Satara, Sambalpur, Udaipur, Nagpur, and Jhansi.
