By the end of August 1947 all the Hindu majority states had acceded to India except:
A Hyderabad
B Junagarh
C Both of them
D None of them
โœ“ Correct Answer: C - Both of them
๐Ÿ“– Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
By the time British rule ended in August 1947, almost all princely states with a Hindu majority population had signed the Instrument of Accession to join the Dominion of India. However, Hyderabad and Junagarh (both Hindu-majority states ruled by Muslim monarchs) were the notable exceptions that did not accede to India before the deadline:

Hyderabad: The Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan, governing a massive Hindu-majority population, chose to remain an independent sovereign state rather than acceding to India or Pakistan. It was later integrated into India following a military intervention (Operation Polo) in September 1948.

Junagarh: The Nawab of Junagarh, Mahabat Khan III, ruled over a predominantly Hindu population but officially chose to accede to Pakistan on August 15, 1947. This sparked a major political standoff, leading to Indian administration taking control of the state later that November.
