Nawab of Junagarh

[1][2][3] Given below is the list of Nawabs who ruled in the princely Junagarh State before the Partition of India.

After the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947, the title of Nawab of Junagarh has no official status.

However, Jawaharlal Nehru waited to first establish the validity of accession of principality of Babariawad to India.

Once this was established with Lord Mountbatten, on 22 September 1947, they sent a telegram to Dewan of Junagadh clarifying the legality of accession and to withdraw their troops from Babariawad.

The Indian Army finally entered and liberated Babariawad in November 1947 and stood on alert along borders of Junagadh and Mangrol for further orders.
