At the time of independence, India had almost 565 Princely states. The British government took the view that all these states were free to join either India or Pakistan or remain independent if they so wished. Muslim-majority provinces of British India were Punjab and Bengal. The Nizam unleashed a para-military force known as the Razakars on the people. They murdered, maimed, raped, and looted, targeting particularly non-Muslims. A plebiscite was held on 20 February 1948 in Junagadh, after which it became a part of India. |
