The position of India's princely states is a relatively
under-studied aspect of the British withdrawal from India and the
early years of Indian and Pakistani independence. Far from playing
second fiddle to events in the British Indian provinces, the
princely states played an integral role in the transfer of power in
1947. Under the British Raj, the princely states were politically
autonomous, and the rulers of each state had to be cajoled and, in
some cases, forced to accede to India or Pakistan. The princes'
commitment to preserving their sovereignty not only threatened the
territorial integrity of both South Asian countries but brought
them to the brink of war on multiple occasions. Conquering the
maharajas tells the often overlooked history of Princely India
through the tumultuous end of empire in South Asia and the early
years of Indian and Pakistani independence. -- .
