Lord Mountbatten’s role in Indian integration- events of 25 July, 1947.
An episode based on some important but ignored moments just before Indian Independence. 565 princely states which virtually became independent nations with the departure of British Raj from India. Problem was huge as this could cause Balkanisation of India. Men like Patel, Menon and Nehru were on the task to convince the Princes, Nawabs, Rajas and chiefs to merge their states with Union of India. Final blow came from the Lord Mountbatten which was unexpected. Find out what happened that day!
