Khanate of Kalat (Nasir Khan's khanate and successors)

Nasir Khan I threw off Durrani control (Treaty of Kalat, 1758) and brought Makran, Kharan, Las Bela and Kachhi under the khanate, its greatest extent. Gwadar went to Muscat in 1783.

The British stormed Kalat in 1839 (Mehrab Khan killed), and the treaty of 1854 made it a British ally.
