Question

How many small and big Princely States in India?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A princely state, also called a native state, feudatory state or Indian state for those states on the subcontinent, was a vassal state under a local or indigenous or regional ruler in a subsidiary alliance with the British Raj.

The most important states had their own British Political Residencies: Hyderabad of the Nizams, Mysore and Travancore in the South followed by Jammu and Kashmir, and Sikkim in the Himalayas, and Indore in Central India.
