What is Baluchistan States Union?
The '''Baluchistan States Union''' existed between 3 October 1952 and 14 October 1955 in modern southwest [[Pakistan]]. It was formed by the states of [[Kalat (princely state)|Kalat]], [[Kharan (princely state)|Kharan]], [[Las Bela (princely state)|Las Bela]] and [[State of Makran|Makran]] with the capital at the town of [[Kalat (Pakistan)|Kalat]]. The area of the Union was roughly the western half of the modern province of [[Balochistan (Pakistan)|Balochistan]]. The Union was separate from the Chief Commissioners Province of [[Baluchistan (Chief commissioners province)|Baluchistan]] which comprised areas to the northeast of the Union. The Union did not include the enclave of [[Gwadar City]] which was part of the [[Sultanate of Oman]]. The four state rulers continued in office but some matters became the responsibility of the Council of Rulers. <center><gallery> Image:KalatFlag.gif Image:Baluchistan States Map.png </gallery></center> {{History-stub}} [[Category:Former subdivisions of Pakistan]] [[Category:1950s establishments in Pakistan]]
