Punjab States Agency
The Punjab States Agency was a political agency of British India, created in 1921 to manage relations between the British government and the princely states of the Punjab, among them Patiala, Bahawalpur, Nabha and Kapurthala and many smaller states. A British agent supervised the states on behalf of the Viceroy. It was dissolved at independence in 1947, when the states joined India or Pakistan.
