Mir Dad Shah (Persian: دادشاه), also spelled Mir Daad Shah, was an Iranian Baloch farmer who lived in a village called Nillag within Iranian Balochistan. With the goal of securing an independent Balochistan and largely discontent with Iranian rule, Shah participated in a rebellion and armed insurgency against the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in the 1950s.[1]
