The regions in yellow in the map below were directly ruled by a colonial administration and had some standardization. But, all the regions in pink were ruled by independent kings. While these local monarchs surrendered their foreign policies to Britain &amp; were tied by various treaties limiting their soverignity, they were often free to have their own armies, laws, courts, banks &amp; economic systems.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"qtext_image_wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"landscape qtext_image zoomable_in zoomable_in_feed\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ec.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-2abc46d6dbb8be8398d9bb94114d20b9-c?convert_to_webp=true\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p>It was not in India&#8217;s best interests and made for very poor economic integration.

They cared more about their Rolls Royces than their people. They had opulence at the expense of the public. For Gandhi, Nehru, Patel and others, independence of India meant not only the absence of British, but also the absence of such backward systems.<\/p>\n<p>At the dawn of independence, India practically put a trigger on many of the monarchs and got them to join. The integration was so successful in barely a couple of decades, people forgot that India had such a massive number of monarchs and kingdoms all over the country. Still, the vestiges of the bad governance by the Nizam can be seen in the blighted hinterland of Marathwada, Telangana and northern Karnataka. That said, a few other monarchs like those of Mysore were slightly more progressive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u090f\u0915 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0936\u094d\u0928 \u091c\u094b \u0905\u092d\u0940 \u0924\u0915 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0923 \u0930\u0942\u092a \u0938\u0947 \u0909\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0930\u093f\u0924 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0939\u0948\u0902 \u0935\u0939 \u0939\u0948 \u0915\u0940 \u092f\u0926\u093f&#8230; <a class=\"meta-more\" href=\"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/?p=8281\">more <span class=\"meta-nav\">&raquo;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-2","category-itihaas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8281"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8283,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8281\/revisions\/8283"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
