=Kalabagh Estate=

Estate in the District and tahsil of Mianwali,
Punjab, with an area of 107 square miles. It is held by Muhammad
Khan Malik Yar, the Awan Malik of Kalabagh. Over 300 years ago
the Awan Maliks settled at Dhankot, a natural fastness on the Indus
above Kalabagh. They forced the Bhangi Khel Khattaks of the hills
on the north to pay tribute, and at the close of the eighteenth century
were recognized as chiefs of the Kalabagh territory by Timur Shah
Durrani. The Sikhs annexed the estate in 1822, but Malik Allah Yar
Khan retained it as their feudatory. He assisted Lieutenant (after-
awards Sir Herbert) Edwardes to construct the Dalipnagar fort at Bannu,
and his son Muzaffar Khan was taken prisoner there by the Sikhs in
the second Sikh War. During the Mutiny he raised 100 men and was
entrusted with the charge of one of the gates of Peshawar city, receiv-
ing the title of Khan Bahadur as a reward. The present Malik, Yar
Muhammad Khan, succeeded in 1885. He holds a jagir worth
Rs. 6,000, and his income is about Rs. 22,000 a year, of which
Rs. 1,000 is derived from the manufacture of alum.
