Q. What was PEPSU, after India’s independence?
Answer: Part B state
Notes: PEPSU, or Patiala and East Punjab States Union, was a state in India formed in 1948 after independence. It comprised several princely states, including Patiala, Jind, and Nabha, and was created to facilitate the integration of these states into the Indian Union. PEPSU was dissolved in 1956, and its territories were merged into Punjab and Haryana. The formation of PEPSU was part of a broader effort to reorganize states in India post-independence, reflecting the challenges of integrating diverse regions and cultures.
