In 1783, when Saiad Said succeeded to the "masnad" of Muscat and Oman (an independent state founded in 1749), he fell out with his brother Saiad Sultan, who fled to safety in Makran and entered into communication with Nasir Khan of Kalat.
As a result in November 1839, the British forces were ordered to subjugate Kalat where Khan Mir Mehrab Khan refused to surrender and fought back against the invaders.
The rebellious Khan of Kalat, Mir Ahmad Yar Khan, was taken into preventive detention, and divested of all the distinctions, privileges and annuities conferred upon him by the Pakistan Government.
The Khan formed the lower and upper house of Kalat Assembly, and during the first meeting of the Lower House in early September 1947, the Assembly confirmed the independence of Balochistan.
Saiad was granted the Kalat share of the revenues of Gwadar and lived there until 1797 when he achieved the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman.
Finally, he moved south and conquered Kalat after a fierce battle.
