During the 1930s and 1940s, coinciding with significant nationalist movements in British India, there were also widespread movements for political reforms and responsible government in many princely states. These movements were often led by Praja Mandals (People’s Associations) or similar organizations. Tripura, Nilgiri (in Odisha), Baroda, and Travancore all witnessed significant political agitation and movements during this period, demanding greater rights for the people and integration with the future Indian Union.

The Praja Mandal movements were parallel nationalist movements in the princely states that sought democratic rights, responsible government under the aegis of the ruler, and later, integration with independent India.

Notable movements include the Travancore State Congress agitation, the Praja Mandal movements in the Eastern States Agency (including Nilgiri), Baroda’s reforms movement, and political awakening in states like Tripura. These movements played a crucial role in the eventual integration of princely states into the Indian Union.
