About Q 23 dat Mountbatten plan rules out possibility of Independence for princely states.. Dis is an Equivocal observation.. one should avoid such conclusions and framing it in questions.. I know dat spectrum totally supports it... But there are also scores of other literature arguing contrary to it... Even independence act 1947 which was based on Mountbatten plan clearly granted freedom to the princely states one of the 3 options.... Dont ask me the sources just google it...its everywhere....chances are dere u people already know it yet...... Moreover i hav seen many debates on it dat Whether "they" were given these options.. where most of d time it seems they were indeed given the options...
It feels like it is one of those of our distorted history similar to dat of India havin boundary with Afghanistan..... Just to put up a strong case of our legitimacy over all the then princely states joinin our union...
Well I had many doubts in earlier tests but dis is d first time i m sharing it bcoz since last few days Forum is really trying to solve d doubts on d same day...... Which is really commendable... And I thank d team from all of our aspirants side....
