Answer: 562
Explanation:
At the time of independence the number of princely states was 562.
The Indian Independence Act of 1947 provided the lapse of Supremacy of the British crown over the Indian states. It gave each of these rulers the option to join the newly state of India or Pakistan or continue as independent state.
India today owes an incalculable debt of appreciation to the diplomatic and practical approach of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the then Home Minister of Independent India.
With his vision and tactful approach he integrated the 562 princely states with the Union of India.
Hope this helps.
