Ghulam Hussain Khan

Ghulam Hussain Khan was an 18th-century Indian historian who wrote the Seir Mutaqherin (Review of Modern Times), a history book on the Mughal Empire.

Ghulam Hussain Khan left Dehli after Nader Shah's Sack of Dehli and moved to the court of his cousin, Alivardi Khan, the Nawab of Bengal, in Murshidabad.[1] Khan was also related to the next nawab, Siraj ud-Daulah, either through Siraj being Alivardi's grandson[2] or in another way.[3]

He is not to be confused with Ghulam Husain Salim who lived at a similar time.
