Mysorean administrator and commander
Mir Qamruddin
Also recorded as: Qamruddin · Kamar-ud-Din · Kamaluddin · Cummer ul Din Khan
Bhandare identifies him as Mir Raza Ali’s son and Tipu’s officer responsible for Gurramkonda and Cuddapah. The Chittoor gazetteer names Kamar-ud-Din as his father’s successor at Gurramkonda. Munro describes his ancestors as hereditary killadars there before their connection with Hyder Ali; the beginning and continuity of that tenure remain unestablished.
This profile is limited to the cited local or regional connection. No unverified portrait, birth date or genealogy is supplied.

PRIMARY CORRESPONDENCE IN SECONDARY WORK · Evidence tier A
How this source is used: Title page and the complete relevant page images inspected. Munro describes Cummer ul Din Khan’s ancestors as hereditary killadars of Gurramkonda under the Mughal Empire before their connection with Haidar Ali, and notes kinship with Tipu’s family. This is a colonial official’s assessment in correspondence following the Vellore outbreak, not a family register. It neither names each earlier ancestor nor establishes Fakhr-un-Nissa’s birthplace, residence or her father’s office at Gurramkonda.
