Intro
After the Mirza family helped the British in 1857, the fight for independence, the British Government gave them 8 villages (see the Punjab Chiefs, 1865 edition). Mirza Ghulam Murtaza (MGA’s dad) and his brothers helped the British with 50 horses and soldiers during the mutiny/independence of 1857. Interestingly, the British claim that the Mirza family “Jagir” was resumed at annexation (1849), this was most likely control of Qadian. The 7 villages that were given seem to be in the vicinity of Qadian. In fact, MGA’s father initiated many court cases to get more than the 7 villages but failed every single time.
