Question

what was the response of the following three princely states to the question of joining India after independence : (a) Travancore (b) Hyderabad (c) Bhopal​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fast-track integration

The first step in this process, carried out between 1947 and 1949, was to merge the smaller states that were not seen by the Government of India to be viable administrative units either into neighbouring provinces, or with other princely states to create a "princely union".

Answer 2

Shortly before independence the British declared that the prime importance of the British crown over Princely States would lapse as well with the end of their rule over India. Both of these states, up to 565, will then become legally autonomous. The British government was of the opinion that all these states were either free to join Pakistan or India, or remain independent, whether or not they so desired. This decision was left to the rulers of these states and not to the people. The  problem was very bad and the very survival of a united India could be threatened

Explanation:

• The issues soon started. First of all, the Travancore ruler declared that his state had decided on being independent . Then, the Nizam of Hyderabad declared the same. Rulers like the Bhopal Nawab were unwilling to enter the Constituent Assembly.
• This reply from the rulers of the Princely States meant that India could be divided more into a number of small countries, following independence. For the citizens of these countries the chances of democracy looked bleak
• This was an unusual case, as Indian independence aimed at peace, autonomy and democracy. In most of these princely states, the governments were non-democratic and the rulers did not want to give their people democratic rights.
