Ghulam Hussain Khan
Ghulam Hussain Khan (Arabic: غلام حسین خان طباطبائی) was an Indian historian from the 18th-century Bengal who is writer of the famous book Seir Mutaqherin (سیر المتاخرین; lit. 'Review of Modern Times'), one of the notable contemporary historical accounts on the late Mughal Empire.
Ghulam Hussain Khan left Delhi after Nader Shah's Sack of Delhi 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.
