State any three consequences of the Uprising of 1857.

Three consequences of the Uprising of 1857 were:

1. The most significant result of the uprising of 1857 was the end of the rule of the East India Company and assumption of the Government of India directly by the Crown. This was done by the Government of India Act of 1858.
2. With the death of Bahadur Shah II, who was deported to Yangon, the Mughal dynasty came to an end. Nana Saheb, the last Peshwa, had taken an active part in the uprising and had fled to Nepal after the failure of the uprising. So the office of the Peshwa also came to an end. Thus, ended two of the most formidable foes of the British — the Marathas and the Mughals.
3. The Policy of annexation and the Doctrine of Lapse were abandoned.
