The correct answer is: A) India’s independence in 1947.
The princely states of Karnataka were integrated into the Indian Union after India’s independence in 1947. The States Reorganization Act of 1956 was a law passed by the Parliament of India that reorganized the states of India on a linguistic basis. The end of British colonial rule in India was in 1947, and the Quit India Movement was a movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1942 to demand India’s independence from British rule.
The princely states of Karnataka were ruled by hereditary rulers, known as Maharajas. After India’s independence, the Maharajas of the princely states were given the choice of joining the Indian Union or becoming independent. Most of the Maharajas of the princely states of Karnataka chose to join the Indian Union. The integration of the princely states of Karnataka into the Indian Union was a complex process that took several years to complete.
The integration of the princely states of Karnataka into the Indian Union was a significant event in the history of India. It marked the end of the princely states system in India and the beginning of a new era of unity and integration for the country.
