One of the realms of Durrani Empire (Afghanistan). When Nader Shah of Iran was assassinated in 1747, Ahmad Khan Abdali, a commander of his Afghan cavalry, was chosen king by a tribal council near Kandahar and took the title Durr-i-Durran, Pearl of Pearls. Uniting the Pashtun tribes, he built an empire stretching from Mashhad to Kashmir and Punjab, raiding Mughal India repeatedly and crushing the Marathas at Panipat in 1761.
