Mir Shah Nawaz Khan Baloch (Urdu: میر شاہنواز خان بلوچ) was the Khan (ruler) of the princely state of Kalat in what is now the Balochistan province of Pakistan.[1][2]
Shah Nawaz came to power upon the assassination of his predecessor. Used by the British to legitimize their rule in Balochistan, Shah Nawaz was widely hated by Baloch nationalists. His predecessor's son, Mir Nasir Khan II, led a rebellion against the British, forcing them to accept his rule as Khan over Shah Nawaz in 1841.[3]
