The Integration of Princely States is an important topic in Indian history and is frequently asked in MCQs for competitive exams like JKSSB, SSC, UPSC, and State PSCs. After India’s independence in 1947, there were more than 560 princely states that were not directly under British rule. These states had the option to join India or Pakistan. Through peaceful negotiations, agreements, and strong leadership by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and V.P. Menon, most princely states were successfully integrated into the Indian Union. This process helped in building a united, strong, and politically stable India.
