	Princely state
		A princely state was a principality or kingdom in British India ruled by a local ruler, called a prince by the British (but who were truly kings).

	Kashmir: The Bitter Truth
		Apparently, the rulers of the States were vested with the powers to rule their States, but in actual practice, the States were administered by the British officers, whose functions were determined by the Viceroy, the Political Department of the Government of India and the British Residents posted in the States.
		The States were thus removed from the agenda of the Indian partition on the insistence of the British, the machinations of the Muslim League as well as the unconditional acceptance of the lapse of Paramountcy by the Congress.
		States were never placed on the agenda of the Partition of India, and therefore, the claim made by Pakistan to complete the agenda of the partition, by forcing India to cede the Muslim majority State of Jammu and Kashmir to it, has no historical or political relevance.

	Kashmir: the unanswered question.
		The Princely States were the remains of the various regional kingdoms conquered by the British in the expansive phases of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
		Essentially feudal, these states were associated directly with the Crown through the principle of `paramountcy', a vague concept under which the British granted the princes considerable autonomy of action in exchange for their political loyalty and the surrendering of foreign policy and defence to the supremacy of British imperial interests.
		Likewise, the holding of state elections in the autumn of 1996 were seen by New Delhi as indicative that Pakistan had, in response to international pressure, significantly scaled down its covert operations across the Line of Control.

		At that time, the princely states had three choices on paper: they could either accede to India; they could accede to Pakistan; or they could opt to be independent units.
		The state of Jammu and Kashmir, India's only Muslim-majority state, is normally governed by a chief minister responsible to a bicameral legislature with one elected house and by a governor appointed by the president of India.
		That is the genesis and the crux of the Kashmir dispute; both sides had a claim to this princely state; both sides ended up with effective control over one part of the former princely state but not the whole of it.
