Mir Nawab Khan Tanoli was the ruler of The Tanawal valley and the Chief of the Hazara region from circa 1810 until he died in 1818. During his rule, he faced many attacks from the Sikh Empire and Durrani Empire, resulting in a significant loss of territory. He was 26 years old, when he was assassinated by Azim Khan on October 13, 1818 in the Stratagem of Peshawar.[2]

The main reason for the war is that Mir Nawab Khan who defied Durrani and other main reason was that when Azim Khan's mother was traveling to Kashmir via Tanwal, Nawab Khan's soldier collected the tax. Azim Khan then traveled through Tanwal and then Nawab Khan's soldiers collected taxes through Azim Khan. After Azim Khan felt ashamed and was admitted to the Afghan court then the Afghans Ruler of that time sent their army.

After the ascension of his son, Painda Khan, and Maddad Khan, a series of rebellions erupted against the Sikh and Durrani dominions, enduring throughout their lifetimes. In response to these challenges, Maharaja Ranjit Singh dispatched Hari Singh Nalwa as the governor of Hazara. Under his leadership, Nalwa oversaw the construction of numerous strategically positioned forts to quell the Tanoli military resistance.

The Sikh rule over Hazara eventually met its conclusion in 1846, following the end of the First Anglo-Sikh War.
