| | Marquess Of Dalhousie (1812-1860). |
 | | In addition, Dalhousie extended a novel and non-Indian practice called the “Doctrine of lapse” which had been used sparingly by his predecessors. |
 | | In pursuance of this doctrine, Dalhousie annexed Satara in 1848, Baghat, Jaitpur, and Sambalpur in 1850, Udaipur in 1852, Jhansi in 1853, Nagpur in 1854, and Karauli in 1855. |
 | | Further, he swept away many titles and pensions of nominal rulers or their heirs, as in the case of the Nawab of Carnatic, the Raja of Tanjore, and the Maratha Peshwa. |
