Princely States
of India A-J
Note: The British ruled India with two administrative systems: British Provinces and
Indian "princely" states; about 60% of the territory of the Indian sub-continent were
provinces and 40% were princely states. Provinces were British territories directly administered by the colonial government of British India. Princely states were states with native rulers which had entered into treaty relations with the British.
Except for some states that were extinguished in the 19th century (Arkat, Assam, Awadh, Kodagu, Mahratta states, Pañjab, Utkala), this record contains those Indian ("princely") states that acceded to India with effective date on or after 15 Aug 1947. If no date of accession is noted, 15 Aug 1947 is understood. This list is selective, there were more than 565 states when Britain granted the Indian independence 15 Aug 1947; about 210 are listed here. However, only "states" are included; "estates" (jagir), "estate revenue grants" (thikana), and "land holders" (zamindar) are excluded, no matter how prominent and/or titled these were. Obsolete but once official English-language names of the polities are given in parentheses, i.e., Awadh (Oudh). The phrase "British India" is used for U.K. colonial possessions even before 1858, for brevity. The all princely states of India entered into protectorate/tributary relations with Britain by the end of the 19th century, where exact dates are known they are noted.
