The decision in 1947 of the ruling prince, Muhammad Mahabat Khan III, to accede Junagadh and Bantva Manavadar as princely states of Pakistan led to a crisis, as most of his subjects were Hindus. In February 1948 came the Annexation of Junagadh and Bantva Manavadar by India, following a referendum.[2][3]
