'''[[Sardar]] Shah Mahmud Khan''' ([[Pashto language|Pashto]]/[[Dari language|Dari]]: سردار شاه محمود خان – b:1890 d: 27 December 1959) was the [[Prime Minister of Afghanistan#Kingdom|Prime Minister of Afghanistan]] from May 1946 to 7 September 1953, under King [[Mohammed Zahir Shah]]'s monarchy. He was from the [[Pashtun people|Pashtun]] tribe of Barakzai [[Mohammedzai]]. He was a brother of [[Nadir Khan]], who ousted [[Habibullah Kalakani]] (also known as Bacha-ye Saqqow), and uncle of both Zahir Shah and Sardar [[Mohammed Daoud Khan]], his eventual successor. His other two brothers are Sardar [[Mohammad Hashim Khan]] and [[Sardar Shah Wali Khan]].{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}<br />
<br />
Under his leadership, relatively free [[1949 Afghan parliamentary election|1949 elections]] were permitted, in response to a mostly middle-class youth movement wanting reforms. However, by the [[1952 Afghan parliamentary election|1952 elections]], the policy reverted to strict control. Also during his time as Prime Minister, the [[Pakistan]]i state was formed following [[British India|India]]'s independence from the [[United Kingdom]]. The Afghans contended that the [[Pashtuns]] living in the border regions should be given a choice to join Afghanistan or form an independent state, which led to tense relations with Pakistan from the onset. Afghanistan went through economic troubles in the early 1950s, and having failed at an ambitious [[irrigation]] scheme in western Afghanistan, Mahmud Khan was eventually replaced by Daoud Khan.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LclscNCTz9oC&q=mahmud+khan+prime+minister+afghanistan&pg=PA62 |title = The Far East and Australasia 2003|isbn = 9781857431339|author1 = Eur|year = 2002}}</ref><br />
