Again ,the only place in the entire Subcontinent,the British never annexed to their empire through forceful means,but let the region to be ruled almost independentlly was Travancore.The Britsh had a very co-ordial and mutual understanding with them and it continued until independence!!!

So Southerners knew the deeper aspects of diplomacy aswell. Again Southerners had never taken part in 1857 Rebellion.They knew it was a waste of time and resources

That wasn’t the only region. Hyderabad Deccan sided with the British in their conquest of the rest of India from virtually the very start and was rewarded with maintaining independent in virtually all matters except defence and foreign relations.
