| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The British decision to quit India brought forth an essential question on the status of the princely states and their relationship with India and Pakistan. The British Cabinet Mission in 1946 however had declared that Britain’s paramountcy over the princely states would not be transferred to the successor government(s) but would simply lapse, meaning, rights that had been surrendered by Indian princes to the paramount power “will return to the states” ( Menon 1955:47). |
