	Accession of Jammu & Kashmir; Embassy of India - Washington, DC
		Since the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947, Pakistan has sought to project the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India as invalid and that, as a state with a Muslim majority, it should have somehow become part of Pakistan.
		The Indian Constitution has amply and finally repudiated the concept of a religious State, which is a throwback to medievalism, by guaranteeing the equality of rights of all citizens irrespective of their religion, colour, caste and class.
		Jinnah, the approach (of Indian Princely States accession to India or Pakistan) was governed by the strictly constitutional attitude, that it was for the ruler, and the ruler alone, to decide.." The reason was obvious.

	KASHMIR ARTICLE 370 - Mohan Krishen Teng--------Chapter II Integration of States
		Indian Princely States, which formed peripheral salient of the British colonial organization in India, were liberated from the British tutelage in 1947, when the British quit India and the powers of Paramountcy they exercised over the States, suffered dissolution.
		However, the Indian States were not subject to partition of India, and were left out of it as well as liberated from the operatives of Paramountcy, which governed their relations with the British and the Government of India.
		In the native States, the Princes were allowed to rule within the reaches described by the British to serve the interests of the empire, fill the coffers of the Company and provide sanctuaries for the British adventurists who arrived in India in search of fortunes and future.

	Indian Princely States
		In many cases, Filcher (1984) shows a more elaborate "state" flag with coats of arms, etc. Based on my personal observation in many of the erstwhile states and conversations with the some of the ex-rulers, these elaborate flags usually existed on paper only and more simple ("civil") flags were more common.
		The term "Native States" was used in official correspondence about the defaced Red Ensigns instead of "Princely States" under the heading "India"; in the National Geographic Magazine of September 1934, they are called, "Native Indian States".
		In 1917 it was reported that vessels from these States, which flew their own State flag when within the territorial waters of India and other parts of the British Empire, were flying the British Red Ensign on the High Seas and in foreign territorial waters.

	Drug Policy Alliance: Opium and the British Indian Empire
		The Secretary of State for India, the Permanent Under Secretary of State at the India Office in London, the Viceroy and his Council, and a group of active and retired high Indian officials coordinated the official response to what they perceived as a major threat to the financial and political security of India.
		To support its general conclusion that opium was not harmful in the Indian context, the Commission relied heavily upon an analysis of the evidence developed in a separate memorandum by Sir William Roberts.
		Indian and British physicians alike testified that moderate, habitual use of opium within the individual level of tolerance did not have harmful effects on either health or longevity.

	Panel abstract EASAS conference
		Yet, throughout this period, Indian princes resisted this British effort at monopolization of political information and representation by deploying their own wakils both in the Presidency capitals and also in London.
		In the post-1857 period, the grounds of this conflict shifted profoundly since Indian princes received the right from the British monarch to represent themselves directly before her and became one of the pillars of the Raj.
		It argues that British mediation in the processes of state-led land and educational reform brought the princely state and Kashmiris into closer contact with the ideologies and movements prevalent in British India at the turn of the twentieth century.

	Dr. M. K. Teng: Coalition Politics and National Unity
		The Indian federal polity grew out of two diametrically divergent processes, which underlined the devolution of authority to erstwhile provinces of what was known as the British India, before the independence and the integration of the Indian Princely States, which acceded to India in accordance with the instruments of Accession.
		The federal organisation of India, was, therefore, constituted of the erstwhile Indian provinces and the Indian Princely States, which were liberated from the British tutelage after the British colonial empire in India came to its end in 1947.
		The Indian federal organisation envisaged by the Constitution of India does not represent the division of political authority on the basis of the division of powers between the federation and the sub-national identities.

	Essay on Indian Round Table Conferences by David Steinberg
		I am authorized on behalf of His Majesty's Government to state clearly that in their judgement it is implicit in the declaration of 1917 that the natural issue of India's constitutional progress, as there contemplated, is the attainment of Dominion Status.
		Muslim Leaguers-all alike claimed that Indians should have an equal voice in framing the future constitution for their country, however much they might have differed from Congressmen in the manner of asserting that claim.
		Dominion precedents were frequently quoted by Indian nationalists in support of their demand to frame their own constitution and submit the same to Parliament for ratification.

		Since these kings were natives, they understood the complexities of Indian culture, and ruled by the Indian value systems -- even though they had to depend on the British for their own security and well-being.
		In the early part of 20th century there were almost a thousand such independent states in the Indian subcontinent.
		Some politically powerful heirs of princely rulers continue to evade taxes and dispute the treatments meted out by the Government, but ending the pensions was the fatal blow to the royalty in India.

	British Rule in India (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In theory, the large numbers of "Princely States" which made up 2/5 of the territory and 1/5 of the population (source: Whitaker's Almanac 1945) of the Indian Empire (the term "British India" was properly reserved for the territories under the British Crown) were independent, sovereign states.
		That the Princely States had no real freedom was made plain at independence in 1947 when they were ordered to chose absorption into either India or Pakistan (the choice of the Hindu Ruler of mainly-Muslim Kashmir to opt for India is the cause of the tensions there that persist to this day).

		These states were not ruled by "princes," but rather by "kings," some of whom enjoyed a truly ancient heritage of political power.
		For the British -- and their ideology of imperialism -- there was but one significant "king" (and he lived in London); Indian rulers were (and had to be) "princes." Despite the unfortunate origins, this terminology has become common, and I retain it here.
		In addition, there are now separate fragmentary pages on the stamps and hundis of the Princely States.

		However, it was under the British that the Indian cavalry entered the popular psyche.

		Phulel Singh of the Jammu and Kashmir State Forces was appointed the first Commandant of the "New Horsed cavalry Regiment" and he assumed command on 19th November 1953.

	Language in India
		It is a bi-product of the Indian cultural renaissance of the nineteenth century.
		Slowly but steadily, however, with the annexation of Indian princely states, English became the language of education in India in 1835, and was made the official language of the then government in 1837.
		The Indian expressions with high frequency of occurrence are therefore kept at the top of the pile in the minds of the news editors.
