Explanation:

Manipur was a princely state with its own monarch, Maharaja Bodhchandra Singh, and a distinct political and administrative system. It enjoyed a measure of autonomy under British colonial rule.
Hyderabad was the largest Princely state & was surrounded entirely by Indian territory. It was ruled by the Nizam (one of the world’s richest men).
The Nawab of Bhopal was reluctant to join the Constituent Assembly.
In October 1947, armed tribesmen from Pakistan invaded Kashmir with the aim to annex Kashmir to Pakistan. Faced with the invasion and deteriorating security situation, Maharaja Hari Singh of Kashmir signed the Instrument of Accession on October 26, 1947, acceding to India.
