In February 1948, the princely state of Junagadh, located in what is now the Indian state of Gujarat, was annexed to the Union of India after a dispute with the Dominion of Pakistan, regarding its accession, and a plebiscite. Junagadh had been a princely state under the suzerainty of the British Crown, until independence and partition of British India in 1947.
Wasn't Junagadh supposedly a Hindu majority section of Gujarat with a Muslim Nawab?

Had there been a plebiscite in Junagadh it would have gone to India.

I think Jinnah wanted the same principle to be applied to Kashmir. But somehow the political situation became rotten and India was not being honest about it.
