Gwalior, Hyderabad, and Baroda were princely states that maintained their independence throughout the colonial period and were not directly annexed by the British. However, the British had varying degrees of influence and control over these states through treaties, alliances, and the Doctrine of Lapse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
