Junagadh was a [[princely state]] in [[Gujarat]] ruled by [[Muslim]] rulers in [[British India]] until its [[wikt:integration|integration]] into [[India]] in 1948.<ref name=Rosecrance147>Richard N. Rosecrance; Arthur A. Stein, ''No More States?: Globalization, National Self-determination, and Terrorism'' (Lanham, Md: Rowman & Littlefield, 2006), p. 147</ref>

==History==
Mohammad Sher Khan Babi, a Babi Khel [[Pathan]] who owed allegiance to the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] governor of [[Gujarat]] subah, founded the state of Junagadh. It declared [[independence]] in 1730 after the Marathas Gaikwad invasion. Muhammad Sher Khan Babi, was the [[wikt:found|found]]er of the [[Babi Dynasty]] of Junagadh State dynasty. His [[descendant]]s, the Babi Nawabs of Junagadh, took large territories in [[south]]ern [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]] and ruled over the state for the next two [[centuries]]. First they were a [[tributary state]] of [[Maratha Empire|Marathas]]. Later they were under the rule of the [[British Raj]].

In 1807 the Junagadh State became a British [[protectorate]]. The [[East India Company]] took control of the state by 1818. The Saurashtra area, with other [[princely states]] of [[Kathiawar]], were separately [[administer]]ed under [[Kathiawar Agency]] by [[British India]].

On 15 August 1947 upon the [[independence of India]], the [[Nawab of Junagarh]] decided to merge it into newly formed [[Pakistan]].<ref name=Rosecrance147/> The Indian government maintained the people of Junagadh should decide. Pakistan waited until 13 September to respond saying they accepted Junagarh's acceptance of Pakistani rule.<ref name=Rosecrance147/> This caused a general [[revolt]] among the [[Hindu]] majority of Junagadh as well as [[Protest|protest movements]] in the surrounding states that had acceded to join India.<ref name=Rosecrance147/> The Nawab then occupied territory in several of those states claiming he had rule over them. When the Indian government sent a small force to restore order, the Nawab fled to Pakistan. His Dewan ([[Prime minister]]) agreed to rule by India.<ref name=Rosecrance147/> This resulted in the integration of Junagadh into India.<ref>Gandhi, Rajmohan (1991). Patel: A Life. India: Navajivan. p. 292.</ref>

===Rulers===
The [[Nawab]]s of [[Junagadh]] belonged to [[Pashtuns|Pathan]] Babi khel tribe. They were granted a 13 [[gun salute]] by the British authorities:<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/j/junagadh.html |title=Junagadh Princely State (13 gun salute) |access-date=2015-11-28 |archive-date=2017-05-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170520212059/http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/j/junagadh.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Dispute ==
Many in Pakistan still maintains the 1948 [[plebiscite]] and rule by India was an [[illegitimate]] action.<ref name=LewisGC>{{cite web |url=http://www.geocurrents.info/geopolitics/border-disputes/pakistan-claim-junagadh-indian-state-gujarat |title=Does Pakistan Claim Junagadh in the Indian State of Gujarat? |author=Martin W. Lewis |date=22 April 2014 |website= |publisher= GeoCurrents |accessdate=28 November 2015}}</ref> One of the reasons is because [[Kashmir]] at the time was ruled by a Hindu but had a clear Muslim majority.<ref name=LewisGC/> By acceding to India it was the opposite of the situation in Junagadh.<ref name=LewisGC/>

For its part India knew Junagadh was the premier state in the [[west]]ern [[Kathiawar|Kathiawar region]]. It was bound on three sides by states that acceded to India.<ref name=BangashTNI>{{cite web |url=http://tns.thenews.com.pk/junagadh-legally-pakistan/#.VloPa7-ATIU |title=Junagadh: Legally Pakistan |author=Yaqoob Khan Bangash |date=2 March 2014 |website= |publisher=The News International |accessdate=28 November 2015 |archive-date=27 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151227203708/http://tns.thenews.com.pk/junagadh-legally-pakistan/#.VloPa7-ATIU |url-status=dead }}</ref> On the fourth side was bounded by the [[Arabian Sea]]. This gave it great [[wikt:strategic|strategic]] importance to both countries. India was not prepared to accept Junagadh's acceding to Pakistan.<ref name=BangashTNI/> This would create a Pakistan state in the middle of Indian states. India's taking administrative control of Junagadh to restore order is seen as a [[wikt:excuse|pretext]] by Pakistan.<ref name=BangashTNI/> The [[referendum]] taken by the people of Junagadh, under the control of the Indian army, was overwhelmingly in favor of Indian rule.<ref name=BangashTNI/> Pakistan has never accepted this vote by the people there and believes Junagadh rightly belongs to them.<ref name=BangashTNI/>
