Amb (princely state)
Amb (Urdu, Hindko: امب) was a princely state within the Hazara Tribal Agency of North-West Frontier Province, British India, ruled by the Tanoli tribe. Together with the neighbouring estate of Phulra, the tract was known as "Feudal Tanawal". It covered an area of 203 mi2 (530 km2) with a population of 48,656 in 1951.
Amb came under the British suzerainty after the Second Anglo-Sikh War, with Mir Jehandad Khan providing much assistance to the East India Company against the Sikhs. The Amb Nawabs also provided military services to the British Empire in the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Muhammad Farid Khan, the Nawab of Amb, acceded to Pakistan after the independence in December 1947. Amb continued to exist as a princely state of Pakistan until 1969, when it was incorporated into the North West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). Today Amb is a part of Mansehra District of Hazara Division.
Mir Nawab Khan Tanoli was the ruler of Tanawal Valley and the chief of the Hazara region from 1810 until he died in 1818. During his rule, he faced many attacks from the Sikh Empire and Durrani Empire, resulting in a significant loss of territory. He was 26 years old, when he was assassinated by Azim Khan on October 13, 1818 during the Stratagem of Peshawar.
The main reason for the conflict was that Mir Nawab Khan defied Durranis. After Azim Khan took the complaint to the Afghan court, the Afghan Ruler of that time immediately sent his army.
Nawab Khan Tanoli's sons, Painda Khan and Maddad Khan began a series of rebellion against the Sikhs and Durranis, which continued throughout his lifetime.
From about 1813, Painda Khan Tanoli is known for his rebellion against Maharaja Ranjit Singh's governors of Hazara. He was the son of Mir Nawab Khan Tanoli.
From about 1813, Painda Khan Tanoli engaged in a long rebellion against the Sikhs, who, realizing the potential dangers of his rebellion, set up forts at strategic locations to keep him in check. Hari Singh Nalwa took this initiative during his governorship. To consolidate his hold on Tanawal and to unite the Tanoli people, Tanoli first had to contend with his major rivals within the tribe itself, that is, the chiefs of the Suba Khani (Pallal Khel) section, whom he subdued after a bitter struggle.
Painda Khan set the tone for regional resistance in Upper Hazara against Sikh rule. In 1828, he created and gifted the smaller neighbouring state of Phulra to his younger brother Maddad Khan Tanoli.
