उत्तर
When India gained independence, there were more than 600 princely states of various sizes. These states were given the choice to decide whether to accede to India or not. If these states had decided against it, then it would have become very difficult to create the Indian Union. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the First Deputy Prime Minister and the Home Minister of India pursued most of the rulers of these states in favour of acceding to India so that political integration of India could be possible.
