In India, the Juneja are found mainly in the districts of Amerli, Rajkot and Kutch, all in Gujarat. They have socially a much better status in India than Pakistan. They speak a dialect of Kutchi, which has several Sindhi loanwords. A good many are Maldhari pastoral nomads found in the Banni region of Kutch. The Juneja of Gujarat have also been associated with Hikmat, the practice of medicine, and the community has produced many prominent doctors. They have close links with other Kutch Samma tribes such as the Halaypotra, Hingora and Hingorja.
