Congress leader Shashi Tharoor today said not much is known about princely states and what happened there during the British rule partly because they were not seen central to the national movement.
Speaking at the launch of a book, 'A Political Biography of Maharaja Rupudaman Singh of Nabha', the Lok Sabha MP said, "We tend to think in simplistic terms about ways in which our national movement evolved, with Gandhi, Nehru, 'divide and rule' policy, rise of Muslim League. That narrative is familiar. However, we do not know enough about princely states and what's going there, partly because they are not seen central to the national movement."
