[2][3] The Barlas were originally a prominent Turco-Mongol tribe who controlled territories in the Transoxianian region of Kish (modern Shahrisabz, some 80 km south of Samarqand).
[4][5] In the early part of this century, Mirza Hadi Beg returned to the homeland of his ancestors and settled in Samarqand[5] but left the city in 1530, perhaps due to domestic dissensions or an affliction, and moved along with his family and a retinue of two hundred persons consisting of servants and followers to northern India where the emperor Babur had recently established the Mughal dynasty.
[7] He was granted a large tract of land comprising several hundred villages that together resembled a semi-independent territory by the imperial court of Babur and was also appointed the Qadhi (magistrate) of the surrounding district thereby giving him legal jurisdiction (Qadiyat) over the area.
[8] Mirza Hadi Beg’s descendants were known as the Begzada family and held Qadian for over 300 years maintaining close relations with the Mughal rulers and holding important offices within the imperial government.
