India repeatedly tried to activate those regional and international
organisations, which were not a part of the alliances led by the
superpowers. Nehru reposed great faith in ‘a genuine Commonwealth of
free and cooperating nations’ that would play a positive role in softening,
if not ending, the Cold War.

government took the view that all these States were free to ............... .
This decision was left not to the people but to the princely rulers of these
States. This was a very serious problem and could threaten the very
existence of a united India.
(a) What is meant by ‘Princely States’ ?
(b) Highlight the three options given to the Princely States to decide
their own fate ?
(c) Why were the options given to the Princely States considered as a
threat ? Explain with examples. 1+2+2=5
