Pakistan Affairs: Events After 1947

The state of Khairpur also acceded to Pakistan on 3 October 1947.[19][22] George Ali Morad Khan (born 1934), who from 19 July 1947 to 14 October 1955 was the last Amir (or Nawab) of Khairpur, was a minor for much of his reign, so it was a Regent, Mir Ghulam Hussain Khan Talpur Baluch, who acceded to Pakistan on his behalf.[23] In 1950 the Amir introduced a form of democracy, with universal adult franchise. In 1955 the state was integrated into Pakistan.[22] The royal privileges of the Amir were abolished in 1972.
