The northern and north-western portion of Bombay was divided from the Punjab by the wide area of Rajputana States. Among the States of this group, which constituted the largest unit of Indian States, were the important Rajputana States of Bikaner, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. In the United Provinces were to be found the isolated States of Tehri-Garhwal, Rampur and Benares. ”
