The princely state of Kalat in Balochistan acceded to the Dominion of Pakistan on 27 March 1948,[1] after having declared independence earlier on 15 August 1947.[2] It was accepted by the Governor General Muhammad Ali Jinnah on 31 March, making Kalat an integral part of Pakistan. The accession was a stormy affair.[3] Whether it had the consensus of its subjects remains disputed and Insurgencies against the state of Pakistan continue till the present day.

Whether it was a willing accession or a coerced one is a disputed matter, with pro-state historians arguing that the Khan willingly made the decision to accede, and nationalist scholars maintaining that Balochistan was annexed."
