- A salute state was a princely state under the British Raj that had been granted a gun salute by the British Crown (as paramount ruler); i.e., the protocolary privilege for its ruler to be greeted—originally by Royal Navy ships, later also on land—with a number of cannon shots, in graduations of two salutes from three to 21, as recognition of the state's relative status. The gun-salute system of recognition was first instituted during the time of the East India Company in the late 18th century and was continued under direct Crown rule from 1858. As with the other princely states, the salute states varied greatly in size and importance. The states of Hyderabad and Jammu and Kashmir, both with a 21-gun salute, were each over 200,000 km2 in size, or slightly larger than the whole of Great Britain; in 1941, Hyderabad had a population of over 16,000,000, comparable to the population of Romania at the time, while Jammu and Kashmir had a population of slightly over 4 million, comparable to that of Switzerland. At the other end of the scale, Janjira and Sachin (11 and 9 guns, respectively, and both ruled by branches of the same dynasty) were respectively 137 km2 and 127 km2 in size, or slightly larger than the island of Jersey; in 1941, Janjira had a population of nearly 14,000, the smallest of the salute states on the subcontinent. For varying periods of time, a number of salute states in South Asia (Afghanistan), on the Indian subcontinent (Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim) or in the Middle East (the Gulf/Trucial States and various states in the Aden Protectorate) were also under the British Raj as protectorates or protected states. As with the Indian principalities, those states received varying numbers of gun salutes and varied tremendously in terms of autonomy. Afghanistan and Nepal were both British protected states from the 19th century until 1921 and 1923, respectively, after which they were sovereign nations in direct relations with the British Foreign Office; while protected states, both enjoyed autonomy in internal affairs, though control of foreign affairs was left to the British. The states under the Persian Gulf Residency and the Aden Protectorate (part of the Bombay Presidency until 1937) ranged from Oman, a 21-gun-rated sultanate under a limited protectorate, to the 3-gun Trucial States which were near-total protectorates. Following their independence in 1947, the new Indian and Pakistani governments maintained the gun-salute system until 1971 (in India) and 1972 (in Pakistan), when the former ruling families were officially derecognised. The Aden Protectorate was transferred to the control of the British Foreign Office in 1937 and eventually became the independent state of South Yemen in 1967, resulting in the abolition of its salute states the same year. Just prior to Indian independence in 1947, the Persian Gulf Residency was likewise transferred to Foreign Office control, remaining in existence until the Trucial States became fully independent in December 1971, forming the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in early 1972.

- Le Salve per gli stati indiani era una tradizione dell'India sotto il governo britannico, ove il British Raj garantiva un certo numero di spari a salve ai diversi sovrani locali a seconda della loro importanza, privilegio protocollare derivato dalle imbarcazioni della Royal Navy. Gli stati che ne avevano diritto erano definiti in inglese salute states, mentre quelli che non ne avevano diritto erano chiamati non-salute states. (it)
- Салютуемое княжество (англ. Salute state) — туземное княжество в составе Британской Индии, правитель которого удостаивался пушечного салюта (изначально — с кораблей Королевского флота, впоследствии — из сухопутного орудия) при прибытии в столицу Индии (изначально — Калькутту, впоследствии — Дели). Количество выстрелов в салюте отражало уровень соответствующего правителя в системе Британской Индии, и индийские князья были весьма чувствительны к подобным тонкостям протокола. Некоторые князья обладали правом на салют из большего числа выстрелов внутри границ своего княжества. В декабре 1911 года, когда в Дели прошёл Коронационный Дурбар по случаю коронации короля Георга V, из-за большого количества съехавшейся индийской знати пушечная канонада гремела весь день, что привело впоследствии к проблемам со слухом у ряда присутствовавших.
