HISTORY
Notes
Before the Partition of India in 1947, there were approximately 584 native states on the Indian subcontinent that were not formally part of British India. Also known as princely states, these semi-sovereign principalities were governed by local rulers under a subsidiary arrangement with the British Raj.
