How did England bring about the political unification of India?
At the time of Indian independence, India was divided into two sets of territories, the first being the territories of "British India", which were under the direct control of the India Office in London and the Governor-General of India, and the second being the "Princely states", the territories over which the Crown had suzerainty, but which were under the control of their hereditary rulers. In addition, there were several colonial enclaves controlled by France and Portugal. The political integration of these territories into India was a declared objective of the Indian National Congress, which the Government of India pursued over the next decade. Through a combination of factors, Vallabhbhai Patel and V. P. Menon convinced the rulers of almost all of the hundreds of princely states to accede to India. Having secured their accession, they then proceeded to, in a step-by-step process, secure and extend the central government's authority over these states and transform their administrations until, by 1956, there was little difference between the territories that had formerly been part of British India and those that had been part of princely states. Simultaneously, the Government of India, through a combination of diplomatic and military means, acquired de facto and de jure control over the remaining colonial enclaves, which too were integrated into India.Although this process successfully integrated the vast majority of princely states into India, it was not as successful in relation to a few states, notably the former princely state of Kashmir, the accession of which to India was disputed by Pakistan, the state of Hyderabad, whose ruler was determined to remain independent, and the states of Tripura and Manipur, where active secessionist movements existed.

What is an Indian aristocrat?
There are a number of different "types" of aristocracy in India. India was ruled in whole or in part by a number of different rulers. The longest lasting, widest reaching and most prominent monarchy in India was the Mughal Empire. As such high ranking members of the Mughal court would have been considered "aristocrats" in the modern sense. After the fall of the Mughals, the British took over control of the Subcontinent and it became part of the British Empire. During this time (from the mid 1800's to 1947), the British controlled much of the country, while there were a number of semi autonomous Princely States in existence which were ruled by Maharajahs, Nawabs, Nizams etc. These states were politically aligned with the British. All together there were 565 official Princely states, and each had its own court, ministers and other members of the court. These people and their families are the most recent example of Indian aristocracy, and many of these families still hold positions of high importance and influence in modern day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. In 1971 the 26th ammendment to the Constitution of India abolished all official symbols of princely India, including titles, privileges, and remuneration. As a result, even titular heads of the former princely states ceased to exist. In addition to the above, there were many other kingdoms in India through the centuries, and the more important and influential members of these courts would be considered to be "aristocracy". India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (the successor states to pre 1947 India) are all parliamentary democracies now, and no form of royal or aristocratic titles are officially recognised any more.
