<div id="ygrps-yiv-937795537">The territory is directly south of the Rann of Kutch<br/>
in the Gujarat area, which does show up on the main<br/>
map on the southeastern part of Pakistan.  It is<br/>
probably only about 100 miles away.  I actually have<br/>
seen the same map in quite a few places including my<br/>
uncle&#39;s old calendar/notebook and always have been<br/>
surprised that they chose to have an inset instead of<br/>
expanding the coverage very slightly to include<br/>
Junagadh area.<br/>
The dispute was with India.  It was the opposite of<br/>
Kashmir.  Kashmir is where a Hindu monarch chose to<br/>
join India in 1947, even though most of its residents<br/>
were muslim who would rather have joined Pakistan.  At<br/>
that time the princely states were given a choice to<br/>
join either India or Pakistan or remain independent. <br/>
The Kashmir territory is still disputed between<br/>
Pakistan and India.  Junagadh was a Hindu area ruled<br/>
by a muslim who asked to join Pakistan which its<br/>
residents didn&#39;t want.  Though Pakistan claimed it<br/>
until 1965, it was a de facto Indian territory.  At<br/>
that time, after its latest loss in a war with India,<br/>
Pakistan gave up its claim to Junagadh.<br/>
