Not to be confused with Sultanate of Swat.
State of Swat (Urdu: رياست سوات), (Pashto: حکومت خداداد یوسفزئی و متعلقات) was a state established in 1849 by the Muslim saint Saidu Baba, also known as Akhund of Swat,[1][2] and was ruled by Walis of Swat. It was recognized as a princely state in alliance with the British Raj between 1918 and 1947, after which the Akhwand acceded to the newly independent state of Pakistan. Swat continued to exist as an autonomous region until it was dissolved in 1969,[3] and incorporated into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (formerly North-West Frontier Province). The area it covered is now divided among the present-day districts of Swat, Buner and Shangla.
