Junagarh or Junagadh was a princely state in Gujarat[1] ruled by the Muslim Babi dynasty in India, which acceded to the Dominion of Pakistan[2] after the Partition of British India. Subsequently, the Union of India annexed Junagadh in 1948, legitimized through a plebiscite held the same year.[3][4]
Pakistan claims sovereignty over the erstwhile princely state to this day.[5][6]
Junagarh State Council with S Parmar have been entrusted with the erstwhile princely state of Junagarh.
