Solution
The Princely States in India were merged in India mainly through the efforts of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Explanation:
India had more than 500 princely states following its independence in 1947. As the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was instrumental in negotiating and convincing these states to become members of the Indian Union. To guarantee a united India, he employed a combination of diplomacy, persuasion, and, occasionally, force.
