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

Bhutto to accept the reins of the state of Pak based Junagadh, but Samaldas deferred to Bharath and asked Patel to send forces for Junagadh and its principalities, Mangrol and Manavadar.
What Patel did was a coup, he neither consulted Mountbatten nor Nehru, overnight troops

occupied Junagadh and with the help of Samaldas, held a pebliscite and Junagadh joined Bharat with 99% + people favouring it.( The above material I got from a book India's Bismarck written on Sardar Patel)
Unfortunately, Samaldas Gandhi remains unknown except for mentions

here & there, in fact, we have only 3 photos of his and what is more disturbing is there is no record about his life or death, yes nobody knows where he died or when he died.
