Many princes were also pressured by popular sentiment favouring integration with India, which meant their plans for independence had little support from their subjects.[35] The King of Travancore, for example, definitively abandoned his plans for independence after the attempted assassination of his dewan, Sir C. P. Ramaswamy Aiyar.[36] In a few states, the chief ministers or dewans played a significant role in convincing the princes to accede to India.[37] The key factors that led the states to accept integration into India were, however, the efforts of Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of British India, and Vallabhbhai Patel and V. P. Menon, who were respectively the political and administrative heads of the Indian Government's States Department, which was in charge of relations with the princely states.
