Mian Muhammad Ghulam Shah Kalhoro (1724 – 1772, Sindhi: مياں محمد غلام شاه ڪلهوڙو) was a member of the Kalhora dynasty who, in 1757, was enthroned as the 3rd Nawab of Sindh by tribal chiefs of Kalhora, replacing his brother Mian Muradyab Kalhoro. He was recognized and given the titles of Shah Wardi Khan and Samsam-ud-Daulah by the Afghan Emperor Ahmad Shah Durrani.
He was able to bring stability to Sindh after the rule of Noor Mohammad Kalhoro; he reorganized the country and submitted to the authority of Marathas in 1758. Ghulam Shah also ordered construction of the Shrine of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai.[1] The tomb of Ghulam Shah Kalhoro is situated in Hyderabad, Sindh.[2]
