Answer:
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (India’s first deputy prime minister and the home minister) with the assistance of V.P menon (the secretary of the Ministry of the States) was given the formidable task of integrating the princely states.
From invoking the patriotism of the princes to remind them of the possibility of anarchy on event of their refusal to join, Patel kept trying to convince them to join India.
The "formidable task" of integration of the Princely States was given to "Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel", who was then the First "Deputy Prime Minister" of India as well as the Minister of Home Affairs.
Explanation:
- The Indian Independence Act of 1947 allowed princely states to join or proceed as an autonomous sovereign state in the the newly born "dominions of India or Pakistan".
- During the time, over 500 princely states encompassed 48 percent of pre-Indian India, making up 28 per cent of its populace.
- Such kingdoms did not form part of British India technically, however were simply totally subordinated to the "British Crown".
- For the British, they were the alliances expected to track the emergence of other imperial forces & nationalist movements in India.
- The princes were granted autonomy over their territory, however the British had the power to nominate ministers for the princes and, where needed, received military support.
- The daunting mission of merging the princely States was carried out by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (first "deputy prime minister" & "home minister of India") with the help of V.P Menon (Secretary of the Ministry of the States).
- Patel continued to persuade the princely states to integrate with India, invoking the patriotism of the princes to reassure them of the likelihood of anarchy when they refused to join.
- The idea of "privy purses", a "payment to royal families" for a merging agreement with India, was also introduced.
- The 1st to join the union were Baroda, Bikaner, & a small number of other Rajasthan states..
