Rulers: India
States before 1947 A-J
Note: Except for some states that were extinguished in the 19th century (Arkat, Assam, Awadh, Kodagu, Mahratta states, Pańjab, Utkala), this record contains those Indian ("princely") states that acceded to India with effective date on or after 15 Aug 1947. If no date of accession is noted, 15 Aug 1947 is understood. The list is selective: there were more than 500 states; about 200 are listed here. However, only "states" are included; "estates" (jagir) are excluded, no matter how prominent and/or titled their jagirdars were. Obsolete but once official English-language names of the polities are given in parentheses, e.g., Awadh (Oudh). The phrase "British India" is used for U.K. colonial possessions even before 1858, for brevity.
