Nawab Sir Muhammad Farid Khan Tanoli KBE was the last ruling Nawab of the princely state of Amb, from 1936 till 1969. He faced several rebellions from his own clan which led to the state crumble up into more than 13+ khanates of his own clans who rejected his rule. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in the 1946 New Year Honours list. [2] A state in a subsidiary alliance with British India until 1947, when the Nawab acceded to Pakistan, in 1958 Amb was reported to have an area of 590 square miles and a population of 48,656. [3]
