Millions? Massive sea operation?Completely true - with all the other challenges facing the newly independent State of Pakistan, carrying out a massive sea based operation to deliver supplies to millions in a State completely blockaded by India, with unrest and riots stoked by India was simply not feasible. It would have required not just food and resources (already in short supply given the millions of refugees pouring into Pakistan from India) but also significant logistical lines and security forces, to maintain law and order.
What India did in Junagadh was essentially East Pakistan 'lite' by India, and a clear statement of hostility towards a newly formed Pakistan, and a completely hypocritical approach towards partition (given India's stance on J&K).
Which junagadh is this?
The population of Junagadh and even its principilaties which had anyways seceded from Junagadh was less than a million.
