Whereas that Gandhi who was responsible for partition is world famous, there was another Gandhi who faded into oblivion after bringing Junagadh to Bharath.

#SamaldasGandhi was the son of Laxmidas/Kalidas Karamchand Gandhi, elder brother of MK Gandhi, Samaldas was a close
follower of his uncle, Mohandas.
He was initially part of Gujarati evening news paper Janmabhoomi. Due to some differences he left Janmabhoomi and started new news paper named "Vande Mataram".

When the Nawab of Junagadh acceded his state to Pakistan in 1947, Samaldas headed a
government-in-exile, "Aarzi Hukumat" or "Temporary Government" created by citizens of Junagadh with Rajkot as its capital to reflect the wishes of its majority population who wished the state to become part of India instead.
Samaldas was invited by Nawab’s Dewan Sir Shah Nawaz
