Mirza Ghulam Murtaza

Mirza Ghulam Murtaza (Urdu: مرزا غلام مرتضى‎) (c.1791 – June 1876) 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.
