Afghanistan and KALAT Balochistan AND ITS IMPACT

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

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 1759,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”

not only kalat but the whole Baluchistan which is absolutely wrong this treaty proves that balochistan is not part of afghanistan rather its a sovereign state and there Ahmed shah baba was not alone baloch were also with him in his wars but the afghan take all the credit of durrani empire ignoring the sacrifices and role and contribution of baloch in establishing the durrani empire truth is baloch were partners of Ahmed shah abdali in forming the afghan kingdom

Re: TREATY OF KALAT IN 1758 BETWEEN KANDAHAR Afghanistan and KALAT Balochistan

Abdali invaded India five times. In 1748, he planned an attack on the India for the first time, this was ended in a drastic defeat. In 1749, he made a successfully invasion and defeated the Governor of Punjab. However, he was induced to return on a promise by the Punjab governor of an annual remittance of some amount and was not paid regularly, this made Abdal to invade India again in 1752. Punjab and Sindh provinces were surrendered this time to Abdali by Mughal Emperor. Abdali appointed his men as in-charge of the newly acquired provinces.

Ahmed Shah Abdali’s invasion of India

It appears that Durranis were not successful in implementing their rule in Sndhi, as Local KalhoRa rulers were more powerful here:

In the year 1701 the Nawab Kalhora were authorized in a firman by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb to administer the province of Sindh. In 1739, Main Noor Mohammad Kalhoro challenged the invader Nadir Shah but failed according to legend. To avenge the massacre of his allies, the capture of Main Noor Mohammad Kalhoro and the abduction of his sons.Main Noor Mohammad Kalhoro sent a small force to assassinate Nadir Shah and turn events in favor of the Mughal Emperor during the Battle of Karnal in 1739, but remained unsuccessful. In 1762, Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro brought stability in Sindh, he reorganized the province and independently defeated the Marathas and their prominent vassal the Rao of Kuch in the Thar Desert and returned victoriously. After the Sikhs annexed Multan, the Kalhora Dynasty supported counterattacks against the Sikhs and defined their borders, however due to the lack of internal stability the Kalhoras could not continue further conquests.[SUP][22]](Sindh - Wikipedia)[/SUP] In the year 1783 Mughal Emperor Akbar Shah II issued a firman, which designated Mir Fateh Ali Khan Talpur baloch as the new Nawab of Sindh, and mediated peace particularly after the ferocious Battle of Halani and the defeat of the ruling Kalhora by the Talpur baloch tribes.

Sindh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PS: Some People claims that KalhoRas are Baloch, but recent research says otherwise.

Re: TREATY OF KALAT IN 1758 BETWEEN KANDAHAR Afghanistan and KALAT Balochistan

Yet baloch rebels have always sought refuge and sanctuaries in Afghanistan and afghans have always helped them since 1947.........in the ongoing insurgency , baloch rebels are getting arms and ammunition from afghanistan , RAW and CIA are the suppliers.
