Madras States Agency

Madras States Agency

The Madras States Agency was an administrative unit of British India. The agency was created in the 1930's, on the model of the Central India Agency and Rajputana Agency, and was composed of five princely states in southern India, located in the present-day Indian states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Before the creation of the Madras States Agency, the princely states were under the authority of the Madras Presidency, and afterwards were answerable to a governor-general who reported directly to Delhi. After Indian Independence in 1947, the states acceded to the Union of India.
