Conspiracy of Bhopal Nawab
Bhopal Nawab Hamidullah Khan was working covertly as a pro-Muslim, pro-Pakistan and anti-Congress, but when the partition of the country was certain, the Bhopal Nawab, the leader of the Third Front, opened his fist and apparently supported the divisive Muslim League. and became a close advisor to Jinnah. He joined Jinnah's plan, under which the kings were to be encouraged to meet in greater numbers either in Pakistan or to get them to declare that they would keep their kingdom independent.
Secretary of the princely ministry A. s. Pai sent Patel a notesheet that the Nawab of Bhopal was acting like Jinnah's broker. The Bhopal Nawab, holding an important post of chancellor of the ruling board, told the new Viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, that he hated the Congress and would have nothing to do with Congress-ruled India. His destructive activities intensified with the determination of the partition of India. He tried to annex the rulers of Jodhpur, Indore and Udaipur with him so that he could get geographical proximity to his princely state and hand it over to Pakistan.
The Nawab wanted that a group of states coming along the route from Bhopal to Karachi should be formed which should be merged with Pakistan. Therefore, he made a plan with Jinnah's consent that the states of Baroda, Indore, Bhopal, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer should become a part of Pakistan.
The biggest obstacle in this plan could have been present from the side of Udaipur and Baroda. Maharaja Jodhpur took upon himself the responsibility of obtaining consent from the said princely states. Thus a map of India's fragmentation was prepared.
Rajrana of Dholpur involved in conspiracy
Nawab Hamidulla Khan of Bhopal princely state included Maharajrana Udaybhan Singh of Dholpur in the plan to merge Hindu princely states into Pakistan. Udaybhan Singh was considered to be a well-read, intelligent and efficient king of the major princely state of Jats, but he was not ready to merge Dholpur into the Union of India at any cost. So they fell in love with Jinnah. On the signal of Jinnah, the Nawab and Maharajrana talked to the kings of princely states like Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur and Jaipur and invited them to meet Jinnah. Alwar Maharaja was also among the Hindu kings who supported the Nawab.
Promotion to join Pakistan in Alwar State
Alwar Maharaja was also among the Hindu kings who supported the Bhopal Nawab, this was evident from his speech in Bombay. That is, on the one hand, league politics was being promoted in the state of Alwar and on the other side, the Rajput chieftains, zamindars of the state were campaigning that the state of Alwar should neither get into the Hindi Union nor in Pakistan. The state should maintain its independent existence.
In that too, certain people concerned with specific interests had inculcated in the mind of the Maharaj that Alwar should never be included in the Hindi Union State. Due to all these rounds, the state of Alwar was disappointed about joining the Hindi Union.
Khare has written that if the Muslim League's demand for the inclusion of the whole of Punjab in Pakistan was accepted, then the border of Alwar state would have merged with Pakistan, but this possibility ended with the partition of Punjab and East Punjab remaining in India. The Alwar king nevertheless remained firm on his insistence. On 16-17 April 1947, a conference of the All India Indigenous State Praja Parishad was held in Gwalior.
In this conference, Maharaj Alwar, referring to the harsh announcements made by Nehru while addressing the native states, said- 'Why should we cooperate with those people who are bent on destroying us today. We are afraid of these Congress leaders. They will destroy us. On the contrary, the Muslim League is giving us certain assurances that the independence of the native states will remain unhindered. So why can't we just meet them? There is nothing to do with religion in this matter. Even though we are staunch Hindus, what will be the impact on our Hindutva if we meet in Pakistan?'
Alwar Maharaja may have been saying anything in his speeches, but after the meeting held by the Prime Minister of the state with Sardar Patel, on July 1, 1947, the state cabinet decided to join the Union of Hindi and on the same day the Government of Hindustan by telegram and letter. was informed that the inclusion of Alwar State in the Constitution Committee of the Union of Hindi was announced.
