AN ATTEMPT is made in this article to describe, in broad outline, the position of Indian states in the polity of India. Politically, India consists of two parts-British India governed by the Crown according to the statutes of Parliament and laws made by the Indian legislatures, and the Indian states bound to the Crown on a basis of what has been described as co-operation. The distinguishing characteristics of Indian states are that Parliament and the subordinate legislatures set up by Parliament in India have no power of legislation in regard to them and that they are under hereditary Rulers whose relationship to the Crown is governed by treaties (in the case of forty states), engagements, sunnuds, or political usage
