As I understand it - the state of Gwalior was virtually independant up until the revolt of 1857 when Gwalior fort was invaded by the British near the end of its uprising. Wouldn't this justify it starting out as a satellite to the UK by 1861?

"The Anglo-Maratha Wars brought Gwalior State under British suzerainty, so that it became a princely state of the British Indian Empire." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwalior_state
"A Princely State, also called a Native State or an Indian State, was a nominally sovereign entity with an indigenous Indian ruler, subject to a subsidiary alliance." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Raj
I guess this explain why Gwallior and Kutch aren't satellites.

The princely states apply to most of the satellites GB starts with. V2's history isn't as well developed as other paradox games.
Ah I suppose it was in limbo with the whole 'subsidiary alliance' concept. Still though it was considered part of the Gwalior Residency which makes me want to believe that Gwalior was atleast under the British SoI by 1861, thoughts?
