Intro
Mirza Ghulam Muhi-ud-Din or spelled as Mirza Ghulam Muhyuddin or Muhiyyuddin (died in 1866) was the paternal uncle of MGA, as well as the father of Imam ud Din, Nizam ud din, Kalam ud Din and their 2 sisters (see Punjab Chiefs) Mirza Ghulam Qadir brother married one of their sisters, Hurmat Bibi was her name, the other is Umar-un-Nissa, she was married to Mirza Ahmad Beg (See Mujadid e Azim, english abridged version). The daughter of Umar-un-Nissa and Mirza Ahmad Beg was the famous Muhammadi Begum. He was mentioned in the ROR of June-1939 and the ROR of Aug-1939.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________He enlisted in military service with the Sikhs in 1839
After Ranjit Singh died, Mirza Ghulam Muhi-ud-Din and his brothers, father and uncles were finally allowed to move back to Qadian (see 1865 edition). MGA was born soon thereafter.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________They served in the Sikh military for 9 years, until 1848
The Mirza family served the Sikhs as much as possible and to the end. When the Sikhs lost the Second Anglo-Sikh War, the Mirza family seems to have been immediately hired by the British government as military men.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1848, the siege of Multan
Mirza Ghulam Muhi-ud-Din served for the British military during this siege. His brother (MGA’s father also), they seem to have suddenly left the Sikh military and joined the British.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________The 1857 Sepoy mutiny
Mirza Ghulam Muhi-ud-Din’s brother, Mirza Ghulam Murtaza (MGA’s father) was honored by the British family for killing the sepoy’s who had mutinied. Mirza Imam ud Din also served as a Risaldar in Hodson’s horse (cited from ‘The Sepoy Rebellion of 1857-59 by AH Amin’)(original citation: Pages-41 & 42-Chiefs and Families of Note in the Punjab-Volume Two, by Sir Lepel Griffin and revised by W.L Conran and H.D Craik, Civil and Military Gazette Press, Lahore-1910) during the Siege of Delhi. The British government thus allowed Mirza Imam ud Din to break the law with impunity.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________The Mirza brothers are given a 700 rupee pension for the rest of their life and propriety rights over 7 neighboring villages
Since they were so loyal to the British, they earned a 700 rupee a year pension plus propriety rights over 7 villages. As well as tax collector status. No other Muslim family in the Punjab was favored as such. This includes all of MGA’s paternal uncles, Ghulam Muhammad, Ghulam Mustafa and Ghulam Haider. By 1883, all of these uncles and cousins of MGA were issueless and had died. Ghulam Haider’s had also died by 1883 and his only son Ghulam Husain was officially missing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1864-1865—MGA and Mirza Imam ud Din go pick up their families pension
This pension of 700 rupees was supposed to be for the whole family to split up,It seems that the settlement court case of 1865 divided up the money of the Mirza family. However, MGA and his cousin-brother Mirza Imam ud Din never come home with the money until they spend it all frivolously. MGA was punished by being sent to Sialkot and never being allowed to see his mother ever again.
