The Mian family of Baghbanpura is a noble family of Lahore, Pakistan.〔(The Garrison State: Military, Government and Society in Colonial Punjab, 1849-1947 by Tan Tai Yong pg.263 )〕 Belonging to the Arain tribe of Punjab region, they originally owned the land near Baghbanpura on which the Shalimar Gardens were built. The land was handed to the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan and in return custodianship of the Shalimar Gardens was granted to the family in 1641.〔Islam & Empire by David Gilmartin, published by University of California press, 1988〕 The Mian family ceased to be custodians of the site in 1962, after the imposition of martial law in Pakistan by General Muhammad Ayub Khan.
