Muhammad Murad Beg

Mir Muhammad Murad Beg was Khan of the Kunduz Khanate in the 19th century. During Murad Beg's reign, he defeated Mir [Yar Beg] to take control of Badakhshan, and extended his rule north of the Amu Darya into regions like Qurghan Tappa and Kulab. Ahmed Beg was his dewan. He lost a war against Dost Mohammad Khan in the Afghan Turkestan Campaign of 1838-39, which involved Josiah Harlan, ultimately resulting in the decline of his power. Dates on his death are contradictory, ranging from 1838 to 1846.
