| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Pataudi - Trivia The last ruling Nawab of Pataudi, Iftikhar Ali Khan, married Begum Sajida Sultan, heiress of Bhopal. The princely state of Bhopal was one of few where the succession of females was acceptable; indeed, that state had been ruled by three generations of Begums of Bhopal for a century beginning 1829. Upon the demise of Sajida sultan in 1995, her only son Mansoor Ali Khan, the titular nawab of Pataudi, is regarded by many as being the head of the royal family of Bhopal as well as Pataudi. However, such "personal unions" of princely states, while commonplace in Eu ...

| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Political integration of India - Integrating the Union Many of the 565 states that had joined the Union were very small and lacked resources to sustain their economies and support their growing populations. Many published their own currency, imposed restrictions and their own tax rules that impeded free trade. Although Prajamandals (People's Conventions) had been organized to increase democracy, a contentious debate opened over dissolving the very states India promised to officially recognize just months ago. Challenged by princes, Sardar Patel and V. P. Menon emphasized that witho ...

| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Princely state - Precedence and prestige The gun-salute system was used to set unambiguously the precedence of the major rulers in the area in which the British East India Company was active, or generally of the states and their dynasties. Princely rulers were entitled to be saluted by the firing of an odd number of guns between three and 21, with a greater number of guns indicating greater prestige. (There were many minor rulers who were not entitled to any gun salutes, and as a rule the majority of gun-salute princes had at least nine, with numbers below that usually the p ...

| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Political integration of India - Process of accession The states of Gwalior, Bikaner, Patiala and Baroda were the first to join India on April 28, 1947. Others were wary, distrusting a democratic government led by revolutionaries and fearful of losing their influence as rulers. Thus, Travancore and Hyderabad announced their desire for independence while the Nawab of Bhopal, Hamidullah Khan, expressed his desire to either negotiate with Pakistan or seek independence. The Nawab was a powerful influence on a number of princes, as he was the former chancellor of the Chamber of Princes. In ad ...

| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Political integration of India - Accession of the states From June to August 15, 1947, 562 of the 565 India-linked states signed the instrument of accession. Despite dramatic political exchanges, Travancore, Jodhpur and Indore signed on time. Patel was also willing to take on other Indian leaders for the sake of accomplishing the job. The privy purse pledge was offensive to many socialists, and Prime Minister Nehru had complained of Patel by-passing the Cabinet. Patel described the pledge as an essential guarantee of the Government's intentions, and it was duly incorporated into the Constit ...

| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Political integration of India - The states There were approximately between 570 and 600 princely states which enjoyed a special recognition and relationship with the British Raj. The British government announced in the Indian Independence Act 1947 that with the transfer of power on August 15, 1947, all of these states would be freed of their obligations to the British Empire, and free to join either India or Pakistan, or choose to become independent. The kingdom of Nepal was an independent treaty ally, and became a fully sovereign nation. The kingdom of Bhutan would dissolve its prot ...

| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Political integration of India - British India British colonization of Indian subcontinent began in the early 18th century. By the mid-19th century, most of the subcontinent was under British rule. With the arrival of Lord Louis Mountbatten as the Viceroy of India in early 1947, the British government under Prime Minister Clement Attlee made a clear indication that the independence of India was imminent.[1] India's top political parties, the Indian National Congress and the All India Muslim League were both negotiating the impending transfer of po ...

| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Princely state - Princely status and titles The Indian rulers bore various titles — including Maharaja ("great king"), Badshah and Raja ("king"), Nawab ("governor"), Nizam, Wali, and many other. Whatever the literal meaning and traditional prestige of the ruler's actual title, the British government translated them all as "prince," in order to avoid the implication that the native rulers could be "kings" with status equal to that of the British monarch.

Princely state - India.
On accession by a princely state, its territories and administrations merged into the Union of India. The rulers of the princely states were allowed to retain their hereditary titles and official residences. Depending upon their size, importance and revenue they were also allowed to retain additional properties and given privy purses (in compensation of the state's revenue which now would go the new Union). On abolition of the privy purse (and the right to the hereditary titles) by the government in 1975 the princely stat ...

Two agencies, Rajputana Agency and Central India Agency, oversaw 20 and 148 princely states, respectively. The remaining princely states had political officers, or agents, who answered to the administrators of India's provinces. Five princely states were under the authority of Madras, 354 of Bombay, 26 of Bengal, 2 of Assam, 34 of Punjab, 15 of Central Pr ...

| | | | List of Indian Princely States: Encyclopedia II - Princely state - Accession After independence in 1947, the princely states were forced to accede either to the secular dominion of India or the new Islamic dominion called Pakistan (consisting of West Pakistan and East Pakistan, i.e. East Bengal, later to break away as Bangla Desh, separated by the whole north of India). The accession was to be chosen by its ruling prince, not the residents, akin to the 16th century European principle of cuius regio eius religio. Most acceded peacefully, except for four: Junagadh, Hyderabad, B ...
