Princely States of India / Pakistan (Pre-1947)

A Salute state is a PRINCELY STATE (i.e. reigned by a native ruler of princely rank) which the British colonial PARAMOUNT RULER has granted a GAN SALUTE; i.e., the protocollary privilege for its ruler to be greeted -originally by Royal Navy ships, later also on land- with a number of gun shots, as recognition of the state's relative status.

During 1947 of the 108 Saluted States in India:

• Rajputs ruled 69
• Marathas ruled 5
• Sikhs ruled 4
• Jats ruled 3
• Muslims and Other Natives ruled 27
