The Indian Political Service (IPS) was the cadre of officers which dealt with the Princely States and foreign affairs. Recruited from the ranks of the Indian Civil Service and the Indian Army.

The IPS was sometimes characterised as civil servants who didn't want to work and soldiers who didn't want to fight.
