    Mir Khudadad Khan

    Khan of Kalat (about 1841 – 20 May 1909): he came to the throne at sixteen in 1857 after his stepbrother Nasir Khan II and ruled — with one year's interruption — until the British forced his abdication in 1893; his reign saw the Mastung treaty of 1876, on which the Sandeman system of indirect rule over Balochistan was built, and he lived on at Kalat until his death in 1909.
