Muhammad Sher Khan Babai was the founder of the [[Babi dynasty]] of Junagarh in 1654. His descendants, the Babi Nawabs of Junagarh, conquered large territories in southern [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]].

However, during the collapse of the [[Mughal Empire]], the Babis became involved in a struggle with the [[Gaekwad dynasty]] of the [[Maratha Empire]] over control of [[Gujarat]] during the reign of the local Mohammad Mahabat Khanji I. Mohammad Khan Bahadur Khanji I declared independence from the Mughal governor of Gujarat subah, and founded the state of Junagarh in 1730. This allowed the Babi to retain sovereignty of Junagarh and other princely states.

Mohammad Sher Khan Babi<!-- JALPESHC ?-->, 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]].

Junagarh or Junagadh was a princely state in Gujarat[1] ruled by the Muslim Babi dynasty in British India, until its annexation by the Union of India in 1948.

History

Muhammad Sher Khan Babai was the founder of the Babi dynasty of Junagarh in 1654. His descendants, the Babi Nawabs of Junagarh, conquered large territories in southern Saurashtra.

However, during the collapse of the Mughal Empire, the Babis became involved in a struggle with the Gaekwad dynasty of the Maratha Empire over control of Gujarat during the reign of the local Mohammad Mahabat Khanji I. Mohammad Khan Bahadur Khanji I declared independence from the Mughal governor of Gujarat subah, and founded the state of Junagarh in 1730. This allowed the Babi to retain sovereignty of Junagarh and other princely states. During the reign of his heir Junagarh was a tributary to the Maratha Empire,[2] until it came under British suzerainty in 1807 under Mohammad Hamid Khanji I,[1] following the Second Anglo-Maratha War.

In 1807, Junagarh became a British protectorate and the East India Company took control of the state. By 1818, the Saurashtra area, along with other princely states of Kathiawar, were separately administrated under the Kathiawar Agency by British India.

In 1947, upon the independence and partition of India, the last Babi dynasty ruler of the state, Muhammad Mahabat Khanji III, decided to merge Junagarh into the newly formed Pakistan.

However, upon the advice of Dewan Bhutto, on 15 August 1947, the Nawab announced that Junagarh had acceded to Pakistan. On 13 September, the Government of Pakistan accepted the accession.[7]
