Khan of Kalat

The Khan of Kalat was the traditional ruler of the Kalat region in present-day Pakistan, historically a princely state in Balochistan. As a semi-autonomous monarch, the Khan governed local affairs, maintaining cultural and political authority until the region integrated into Pakistan in 1948. The title symbolized leadership and cultural identity for the Baloch people of the area. Today, the legacy of the Khan of Kalat remains significant in regional history and identity, reflecting the complex history of Balochistan's push for autonomy and recognition within Pakistan.
