The Indian Independence Act of 1947gave princely states an option to accede to the newly born dominions India or Pakistan or continue as an independent sovereign state.At that time more than 500 princely stateshave covered 48 percent of the area of pre Independent India and constituted 28% of its population.These kingdoms were not legally part of British India, but in reality, they were completely subordinate to the British Crown.For the British these states were the necessary allies,to keep in check the rise of other colonial powers and nationalist tendencies in India.The southern Indian maritime statewas strategically placed for maritime trade and was rich in both human and mineral resources.It was one of the first princely states to refuse accession to the Indian union and question the Congress’ leadership of the nation.By 1946, the Dewan of Travancore, Sir C.P. Ramamswamy Aiyardeclared his intention of forming an independent state of Travancore that would be open to the idea of signing a treaty with the Indian un...Sir C.P. Aiyar is also said to have had secret ties with the UK governmentwho were in support of an independent Travancore in the hope that they would get exclusive access to a mineral called monaz...The Rajput princely state despite having a Hindu king and a large Hindu population,strangely had a tilt towards Pakistan.Young and inexperienced, Jodhpur prince, Hanvant Singhreckoned that he may get a better “deal” from Pakistan since his state was contiguous with the country.Jinnah reported to have given the Maharaja a signed blank sheet of paperto list all his demands.He also offered him free access to the Karachi portto arms manufacturing and importing along with military and agrarian support.It was another state that wished to declare independence.Here a Muslim Nawab, Hamidullah Khan, was ruling over a majority Hindu population.He was a close friend of the Muslim League and staunchly opposed the Congress rule.He had made clear his decision to attain independence to Mountbatten.It was the largest and richest of all princely states,covered a large portion of the Deccan plateau.Nizam Mir Usman Ali was presiding over a largely Hindu populationin the princely state.He was very clear on his demand for an independent stateand blatantly refused to join the Indian dominion.He drew support from Jinnah and the tussle over Hyderabad grew stronger over time.The princely state, situated on the southwestern end of Gujarat,also did not accede to the Indian union by August 15, 1947.It was the most important among the group of Kathiawar states and contained a large Hindu population ruled by the Nawab, Muhammad Mahabat Khanji III.On September 15, 1947,Nawab Mahabat Khanji chose to accede to Pakistan ignoring Mountbatten’s views, arguing that Junagadh adjoined Pakistan by sea.The rulers of two states that were subject to the suzerainty of Junagadh — Mangrol and Babariawad— reacted by declaring their independence from Junagadh and acceding to India.It was a princely state with a Hindu king ruling over a predominant Muslim populationwhich had remained reluctant to join either of the two dominions.The case of this strategically located kingdom was not just very different but also one of the toughest as it had important international boundaries.The ruler of Kashmir Maharaja Hari Singh had offered a proposal of standstill agreement to both India and Pakistan,pending a final decision on the state’s accession.Pakistan entered into the standstill agreement but it invaded the Kashmir from north with an army of soldiers and tribesmen carrying weapons.
