The correct answer is None of the above.

  • A princely state was also called a native state, feudatory state, or Indian state.
  • At the time of the British withdrawal, 565 princely states were officially recognized in the Indian subcontinent, apart from thousands of zamindari estates and jagirs.
  • In 1947, princely states covered 40% of the area of pre-independence India and constituted 23% of its population.
