Q. How many princely states merged to form Vindhya Pradesh?
Answer: 35
Notes: Vindhya Pradesh was created by merging 35 princely states from Bundelkhand and Baghelkhand regions, with Rewa as its capital. It was later merged into Madhya Pradesh in 1956 after the States Reorganization Commission’s recommendations. Other nearby regions had fewer states: Madhya Bharat had 22, Bhopal 5, and Mahakoshal 15 princely states.
