Burhan-ud-Din (1914–1996) (Urdu: برھان الدین) of Chitral was a veteran of the Indian National Army.

[1] He was by far the most famous Chitrali as a result of his service in the Indian National Army under Subhas Chandra Bose during World War II.

He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant on the Special List on 15 July 1936 and was attached to the 1st battalion The Kings Own Royal Regiment at Madras from 20 August 1936.

[5] He was later accepted for the Indian Army and joined the 5th battalion, 10th Baluch Regiment on 20 August 1937, stationed at Peshawar on the North-West Frontier.

His brother was Major Mata-Ul-Mulk, Fateh-e-Skardu, Governor of Shoghore, born on 10 February 1918, got education from Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College, Dehradun.

Burhan-ud-Din, a deeply religious man, was offended by this practice, so he had five of his soldiers rounded up in Rangoon, brought back, and flogged as deserters.

When the British captured the Indian National Army they were naturally anxious to put some of their leaders on trial.

Following pronouncement of his sentence it is said that Brigadier Cariappa, who was heading the military court, walked over and shook hands with Burhan-ud-Din.

[1] Meanwhile, a bill containing the provisions of Lord Mountbattens plan of 3 June 1947, was introduced in the British Parliament and passed as the Indian Independence Act 1947.
