Sikkim was close! It actually gained proper independence mid 1947 when India succeeded, but this map is from just before the partition.

While that's certainly a valid view, the same is true of Bhutan. I think it's difficult to justify the view that Bhutan was an independent country when Sikkim was not. Either both should be included, or neither.

Typing France and Portugal gives the least guessed ones. I'm surprised not many people have done that.

What's about Diu and Damão, Dadra and Nagar Haveli? Goa is not the country - it's Portugal or Portugese India, to be more precise.

Burma was seperated from British Raj in 1936.
Ceylon(Sri Lanka) was never a part of British Raj.
Sikkim's sovereignity is disputed, event though it was a princely state with British suzerainity.

My source includes them, regardless of how intergrated they were with what is now India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Yes, Sikkim was a princely state, but most princely states in the subcontinent during this era had limited autonomy, such as Manipur and Hyderabad. Bhutan was a princely state, but it had more recognition and legitimacy than others.

Ugh, got all but one. Typed Puducherry at the very end but didn't have time to enter the old name when it wasn't accepted. Fun quiz though!

I don't think Burma was part of British India in 1947. And Siam was renamed Thailand in 1939. And Ceylon was never part of British India.

It was renamed to Siam from 1945 to 1949. As for Burma and Ceylon, my source included them.

Then I'm afraid your source is wrong. Ceylon was never a part of the British Raj, and Burma left the Indian Empire to become a separate colony in 1937. You're right about Siam though.

Burma did leave the British Raj in 1937. This quiz is not specifically about the British Raj but I've changed the date on the description to match to eliminate any grey area, considering the borders didn't change over the 10 years. I'm keeping Ceylon in however, as it was British territory in the greater area known as India.

Aden (the port) is not shown on the map. It was administered by India until 1936, the same time as Burma ceased to be administered as part of India. It was bordered by the Aden Protectorate, now part of Yemen.

The description clearly says as of 1947. But then Burma should not be shown as part of British India as it became a separate colony in 1937, and Ceylon is erroneously shown as part of British India when it never was.

It has been Iran since 1935. I don't believe the revolution had any effect on the name.

Probably a somewhat minor quibble, since I don't believe it impacts the answers, but Sri Lanka was not part of or in any way involved with British India, as depicted on the map. It was ruled as the Crown Colony of Ceylon with a Governor reporting directly to the Colonial Office in London.
