Nawab of Kalabagh
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Nawab of Kalabagh (Urdu: نواب کالا باغ ) was a courtesy title of the feudatory lord of Kalabagh[citation needed] in Mianwali District of north western Punjab, Pakistan. It did not mark the title-holder either as a ruler of a princely state or as an autonomous or semi-autonomous ruler, but as the hereditary chief of the Awan tribe,[citation needed] settled on a minor Jagir estate. The actual or real title of the Awan chiefs was in fact 'Malik'.[citation needed]
The title was discontinued after the demise of Malik Ameer Muhammad Khan Langur (Langaur) who was the last so-called Nawab of Kalabagh.[citation needed]
During the British Raj Kalabagh was not made a princely state by the British. It was a jagir that had been ruled by the Nawabs since the time of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni.[citation needed]
His eldest son worked in Pakistan Air Force as Vice Chief of Air Staff till 1998.[citation needed] Now his grandson Malik Sherjeel Tufail Awan is head of the Awans.[citation needed] Two of his sons were killed in a family dispute.[citation needed] They own more than 10 thousand acres of land[citation needed]
