Bute Shah

Ghulam Muhy-ud-Din Ludhianvi, better known as Bute Shah (died ) was a 19th-century historian from Punjab. He authored the Persian-language work Twarikh-i-Panjab ("The History of Punjab") in 1848.

Bute Shah belonged to an Awan family from Ludhiana and was employed by the British Political Resident. He was in the British emissary which was sent to the court of Ranjit Singh in 1837, where he along with the delegation met the maharaja in the company of Fakir Azizuddin and was granted a robe of honour and 100 rupees, according to Sohan Lal Suri.
