Sir Shuja ul-Mulk KCIE (1 January 1881 – 13 October 1936) was the Ruler (from Persian: مهتر) of the State of Chitral,[1][2][3][4][5][6] and reigned it for 41 years until his death in 1936.[7][8][9] He belonged to the royal Katur dynasty,[10][11][12][13] which ruled the state from 1571 to 1969,[14][15] until the Princely State of Chitral was merged to form the Chitral District of the Provincially Administered Tribal Areas, Malakand Division, North West Frontier Province, Pakistan.[16][17]

His rule saw the State of Chitral experience an extensive period of unwonted peace.[18][19] He introduced widespread and far-reaching changes and administrative reforms.[20][21] Shuja ul-Mulk rendered important services to the British Empire during the Third Anglo-Afghan War.[22][23][24] He was invested as a Companion of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) by the British in 1903,[25][26][27] and Knight Commander of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire (KCIE) in 1919.[28][29][30] He was granted a personal gun salute of 11 guns,[31][32] and the title of His Highness.[33][34]
