Muhammad Farid Khan dating history

Details

Nawab Sir Muhammad Farid Khan Tanoli, K.B.E. (died 1969), was the last ruling Nawab of the princely state of Amb, from 1936, when he succeeded his father Nawab Muhammad Khan Zaman Khan Tanoli, until his death in 1969. A small state in a subsidiary alliance with British India, in 1958 Amb was reported to have an area of 174 square miles and a population of 48,656. Farid Khan Tanoli was sagacious enough to recognise, by the late 1930s, the inevitability of Indian independence from British Rule and also saw the probability of the creation of a separate Muslim state i.e. Pakistan; and in a timely manner began to make overtures to the All India Muslim League leaders like the Quaid-e-Azam, Liaquat Ali Khan and others to protect his own interests.
