In the third episode on the incorporation of princely states within independent India, I take up a detailed case study of Hyderabad. It was the largest princely state in British India, and the Nizam of Hyderabad aspired for an Azad Hyderabad or independent Hyderabad. 
It was not an unreasonable aspiration as such. If it were to be independent, Hyderabad would have been as wealthy as the top twenty members of the United Nations in 1947-48. He had the support of hardline Muslim fanatics and of course of Jinnah and the Muslim League. 
The situation became more complex with counter moliztion of Hindus and Sikhs and the rebellion in Telangana by oppressed peasants under the leadership of communists.

The Nizam sent a delegation to the United Nations to make a case for Hyderabad's independence. It was a terrible prospect for India. 
The Hyderabad crisis festered even as Mountbatten left India in June 1948. 
India had to sign standstill agreements and appoint an Agent General. There were regular border problems with several parts of India throughout 1947 and 1948. 
We discuss these border skirmishes in detail. 
Finally, though, there was no option left but for direct military intervention.
