1. Maratha confederacies, is one of the example of fragmented polity. They were prominent in deccan and south. Then there was Awadh, which had separate polity. Since this was the nerve of the british trade, all indigo exports were transported via awadh to bengal and then to british territories. So there was more control over Awadh by the british government.
2. Then were coastal states, like Kerela that were under rule of Martand Verma. Calicut was under Zamorin.
3. Bengal was a seperate polity. It was the centre of administration, (later this was further divided in the beginnig of the 19th century)
4. Then there were princely states (not under british india), they were ruled by the princes (so that most of them owed their allegiance to the mighty rulers for selfish reasons)
All this was due to the fact that administration for the britihsers was more at ease in fragmented polity (rather than being unified)
