After independence the process of integration was initiated in the whole country and Rajasthan unification too became a part of this process. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel played a major role in it and Rajasthan was integrated step by step. This process was started in Rajasthan on 17th March, 1948 and it was completed on I st November 1956 in seven stages.

• First Stage-Formation of Matsay union:
Four states i.e. Alwar, Bharatpur, Dhaulpur and Karauli were combined on 17th March 1948 to form a union, known as the Matsay Sangh. It was named so on K.M. Munshi’s suggestions. Maharaja of Dhaulpur was made its Raj Pramukh.

2. Real Executive:
According to article 163 of “the constitution, there shall be a council of ministers headed by the Chief-Minister to aid and advise the governor. Governor delivers on oath of office to the leader of the majority party or the member of the Vidhan Sabha. In case he is not the member of the Vidhan Sabha (State Legislature), he has to get elected within a period of six month from the date of his appointment.
