SOME OF THE large princely states still had ambitions for sovereignty: the
largest, Hyderabad, was a landlocked state the size of France in south
central India with a population of eighteen million. Its ruler, the Nizam,
harboured ambitions for complete independence and, equipped with a private
army, had made plans for ward. In early 1947 he unsucessfully pressed the
Portuguese to sell him Goa, a prized seaport. --Maria Misra, in Vishnu's
Crowded Temple: India since the Great Rebellion, p 241.
