One tiny correction: At about 13:37 into the video, it is stated that all people in India, both in British India and in the princely states, were British subjects.
I believe that it is incorrect. All of them would have been eligible for a British Indian passport, which was not the same as a British passport.
But even within that category, there were differences. People from the princely states had the status of British Protected People, not British subjects. Mohandas Karamchand (later Mahatma) Gandhi traveled to London on a BPP passport, because he was born in a princely state.g
I believe (not sure) that people from British India were citizens of the Indian Empire and not full British subjects either.
Note that none of this detracts from Sam Aronow's points on how the unique Indian structure may have inspired parts of the inter-war Palestinian constitution. I'm just being pedantic about a detail.
Note that one detail of the inter-war Palestinian nationality was that, while the mandate was governed by the British, it was not legally a part of the British Empire and so, its people had British passports, but were not British subjects, similar to the status of subjects of Indian princely states.
