Choose the correct answer.
Who played a vital role in the integration of princely states?
- Jawahar Lal Nehru
- Mahatma Gandhi
- Sardar Patel
- None of the given options is correct
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Sardar Patel
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, as Home Minister and Minister of States, with V.P. Menon as his secretary, persuaded or compelled more than 560 princely states to accede to and integrate with the Indian Union. Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi did not lead this work, so a named leader does fit and the catch-all is wrong.
