== History ==

[[Bantva Manavadar]] was a [[princely state]] of British India. Founded in 1733, it became a British protectorate in 1818. On 25 September 1947, it acceded to the newly formed Pakistan. However, Indian forces entered the area on the grounds that the state was a vassal of the [[Junagadh state]], which was itself a vassal of the [[Baroda state]] that had acceded to India. Subsequently, after a plebiscite, the state acceded to India on 15 February 1948.

It was also known as the Asia's third center for cotton ginning. It contained almost around more than 75 ginning factories of cotton.

Pakistan's government has maintained its territorial claim on Manavadar, along with [[Junagadh]] and [[Sir Creek]] in Gujarat, on its official political map.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://thehimalayantimes.com/world/pakistan-unveils-new-political-map-claiming-jammu-india-retorts/|title=After Nepal, Pakistan unveils new political map; Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh claimed, India retorts|work=Himalayan Times|date=4 August 2020|accessdate=4 August 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1572590|title=In landmark move, PM Imran unveils 'new political map' of Pakistan|work=Dawn|date=4 August 2020|accessdate=5 August 2020|first=Naveed|last=Siddiqui}}</ref>
