Dear Student
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel become an important figure in unification of princely states. He took major steps as follows:
He introduced the concept of “privy purses” — a payment to be made to royal families for their agreement to merge with India. Through the spring of 1947, Patel threw a series of lunch parties, where he urged his princely guests to help the Congress in framing a new constitution of India
Patel’s tireless efforts paid off when most of the rulers agreed to the dissolution of their respective states. To accede Jodhpur Patel immediately met Hanvant Singh and assured him that importing arms would be allowed
To accede Jammu and Kashmir and Junagadh he sent Indian armed forces there.Planes were diverted to Delhi-Srinagar route, and telephone and telegraph lines were laid between Pathankot, Amritsar and Jammu as well. He further undertook strategic steps to place the Indian Army in an advantageous position.
On September 17, 1948, Indian forces marched into Hyderabad under what came to be known as ‘Operation Polo’.The armed encounter lasted four days, forced the Nizam to surrender and merge his kingdom with the Indian Union, 13 months after India had become an independent country.
These states were given reservations as these states were ready to merge with India on the basis of these reservations only.
