Solution
- ‘Decolonisation’ is the process of ending colonial rule and handing over the political and administrative power to local people by the colonialists.
- Opposition to colonialism, the struggle for independence, and the nations under colonization regaining their independence are the three stages of the decolonization process.
- India became independent on 15th August 1947. However, at that time, there existed several Princely States in India, which were ruled by hereditary rulers under British suzerainty.
- 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.
