The above statement is True.
There were 562 princely states in India in 1947. India faced enormous obstacles when it gained independence in 1947. There was the issue of over 562 princely states, each of which was ruled by a maharaja or a nawab, and all of which needed to be convinced to join the new country. These princely states covered 48% of pre-independent India. It was Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel's responsibility to integrate the princely states. Princely states had the option to join either India or Pakistan or to maintain their independence under the Indian Independence Act of 1947.
