Amb (princely state)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amb was a princely state of the former British Indian Empire, with internal autonomy but under the overall suzerainty of the British crown. In 1947, by the Indian Independence Act 1947, the British abandoned their supremacy, and following the Independence of India and Pakistan Amb's Nawab at that time decided to give up the independence the state had previously enjoyed by acceding to the new country of Pakistan. However, Amb continued as a distinct state within Pakistan until 1969, when it was incorporated into the former North-West Frontier Province. In 1972, the royal status of the Nawab was abolished by the Government of Pakistan.
