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

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.

Nope kalat was not granted independence. Mir naseer khan baruhi's rebellion failed and he was pardoned and reconciled by Ahmad shah abdali. Kalat had to pay annual tribute to Afghans and had to provide a contingent of baloch soldiers for the military expeditions of afghans. Ahamd shah abdali was generous and he took the cousin of mir naseer khan as wife and granted Quetta and dhadar to kalat as gift.
