Born in India

Mirza Ghulam Murtaza was an Indian nobleman, chief, military officer and physician, best known for being the father of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya movement. He belonged to a family of landed aristocracy within the Mughal Empire that lost most of its estate to the Sikh Kingdom during the late 18th century and only a fraction of which – including Qadian, the family’s ancestral seat – he was able to regain from it. He was mentioned in some detail by Sir Lepel Griffin in The Panjab Chiefs, a survey of the Punjab’s aristocracy. Ghulam Murtaza was married to Chiragh Bibi and had three surviving children.
