Re: Countering the exaggerated Afghan rule hype propaganda regarding Balochistan
It doesnt make any sense , Why Mir nasir khan brahui followed Ahmad shah abdali to panipat like an obedient puppy if has already defeated abdali at seige of kalat in 1758?. Mir nasir khan revolted to gain Independence from Afghans, that is true, but history is very clear that he failed and Kalat still remained vassal state of Afghans. It was greatness of Ahmad shah abdali that he didnt kill him, he kept his dignity and to do 'marham-pati' on his wounds, Abdali took Mir naseer khan's cousin as wife, forging the rishta-dari. Abdali also took mughal emperor's sister as his wife. This is sign of subjugation. Forexample
Around 1730 AD, Mian Nur Muhammad Kalhora alias Khudayar Khan Abbasi, Sabit-i-Jang appointed Murad Kaleri alias Ganja the Governor of Sibi. According to Ghulam Rasul Mehr (Tarikh-i-Sind) the new governor crushed the semi-independent feudal lords of Kachhi. Mir Abdullah of Kalat felt apprehensive of this new development. He offered two of his daughters to the two sons of Mian Nur Muhammad Kalhoras. The peace did not last long. In 1731 AD, the Mir attacked Kachhi. Mir Abdullah Khan, the eagle of the mountains, was killed during the fight. According to Tahfat-ul-Karram this reverse broke the backbone of the Brahuis.
*ABSTRACT *
The main objectives
behind this study are to search and explore the reasons
events, clause and impacts of very famous treaty of Kalat 1758. No doubt this treaty
was opened new ways of development and projection for Balochistan, but, majority
of the historians, specially Afghan *writers deliberately ignored this important treaty
in their books, because this treaty was not only prove the complete independence of
Balochistan but also it shown the failure of Afghan monarch about their
Balochistan’s policy.
This treaty was confirmed
the position of the Khanate of Kalat,
and Balochistan became a complete independent country on the globe. If one side
this treaty was good for the Khanate, than the other side it’s provided many
confidence and cooperation to the Afghans monarch for his
Conquest in east (India
and Punjab) and west (Iran). This treaty was also established the relations between
Baloch and Afghan nations. No, doubt the Afghan and Baloch have every kind relations,
political, fiscal, and geographical, based on this treaty. The British
and Baloch
Writers support this treaty and discussed it in their books, but not in detail. This
treaty means “the backbone of Baloch Afghan relations”, if it skipped from the
history, the history of both countries cannot be defined. *
*Mir Naseer Khan Baloch was the best commander of Ahmed Shah Abdali. He took part in several
expeditions with his baloch army to help the Afghans against the Iranians in Khurasan in 1751,1770 in the battle of Panipat India against Marhatas in 1761 and in Punjab against the
Sikhs in 1765. Baloch troops successfully
participated in these battles under the command of Mir Naseer Khan Baloch” *

Rs. 100,000 and military weapons and provide for the expenditure of the army as rewards *
*3) Khan -e- Baloch will not provide any help or asylum to rebel princes of the Sadozai or

of Balochistan *

This Treaty shows the political and diplomatic wisdom of Mir Naseer Khan Baloch. He stress
Ahmed Shah Durrani to sign an agreement **
**
Mir Nasir khan baloch organized the Baloch tribes and their country and formed a constitutional Government in
the whole Country. Moreover, he participated with his baloch army in many other battles against the *enemies **of Ahmed Shah Durrani, like Iranians, Sikhs of Punjab, the
Kalhoras of Sindh, Marathas of India, after the treaty of Kalat Ahmed Shah defeated his every enemy with the help of Mir Naseer Khan baloch along with his baloch troops and occupied a huge area of Punjab, Sindh, India and Iran and formed an Afghan Kingdom. This is fact that these achievements were not possible without the treaty of Kalat in1758 between Baluchistan and Afghanistan After which balochistan became a completely independent State *
