General knowledge
Before 1947 the princely states of India ran their own affairs but were under the suzerainty of the British Crown, a relationship known as paramountcy.
GK के लिए याद रखें कि 1947 से पहले भारत की रियासतें अपना शासन ख़ुद चलाती थीं, पर वे British Crown की suzerainty (अधिराजत्व) में थीं, जिसे paramountcy कहा जाता था।
