Map of the Indian princely states (only including 180 of the largest, most import states) ranked by gun salute. This system was used for the Shan princely states, the Trucial Sheikhdoms, Mascat and Oman, and the Yemeni protectorates. The British also applied this to some of its looser protectorates, such as Bhutan, Afghanistan, and Nepal. This only showcases the British Indian part.
Own work, based on a map of the Muslim population of India in 1941 by National Geographic, and the Imperial Gazetteer of India.
