What were the Indian five nations?

The Indian five nations, often referred to in the context of the Indian independence movement, typically include the major princely states that played significant roles during the period of British colonial rule. These include the Kingdom of Punjab, the Kingdom of Mysore, the Kingdom of Travancore, the Kingdom of Gwalior, and the Kingdom of Bikaner. Each of these states had unique contributions to the struggle for independence and displayed varying degrees of resistance against British rule. Their eventual integration into the Indian Union post-independence was crucial for the establishment of a united India.
