List Of Princely States Of British India (alphabetical)
This is a list of Indian princely states, as they existed during the British Raj before 1947. Before the Partition of India in 1947, hundreds of princely states, also called native or Indian states, existed in India. These states were not a part of British India but functioned as British protectorates under a subsidiary alliance and some indirect rule. They were the parts of the Indian subcontinent which had not been conquered or annexed by the British, often former vassals of the Mughal ''badshah'' (emperor). The states are listed alphabetically; this list complements the list of princely states of British India, which is arranged by region and agency.

Things moved quickly after the partition of British India in 1947. By the end of 1949, all of the states had chosen to Instrument of Accession, accede to one of the newly independent states of India or Pakistan or else had been conquered and annexed. Overview In principle, the princely states had internal autonomy, while by treaty the British Crown had suzerainty and was responsible for the states' external affairs. In practice, while the states were indeed ruled by potentates with a variety of titles, the British still had considerable influence. By the time of the departure of the British in 1947, only four of the largest of the states still had their own British Resident ...

British India
The provinces of India, earlier presidencies of British India and still earlier, presidency towns, were the administrative divisions of British governance in South Asia. Collectively, they have been called British India. In one form or another, they existed between 1612 and 1947, conventionally divided into three historical periods: *Between 1612 and 1757, the East India Company set up "factories" (trading posts) in several locations, mostly in coastal India, with the consent of the Mughal emperors, Maratha Empire or local rulers. Its rivals were the merchant trading companies of Portugal, Denmark, the Netherlands, and France. By the mid-18th century three ''Presidency towns'': Madras, Bombay and Calcutta, had grown in size. *During the period of Company rule in India, 1757–1858, the Company gradually acquired sovereignty over large parts of India, now called "Presidencies". However, it also increasingly came under British government oversight, in effect sharing sovereig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
