Subhan Ali Khan Kamboh (born 1766) was an Indian Muslim scholar.
Kamboh specialized in logic, philosophy, literature and Qur'anic exegesis, hadis and fiqh. He also learnt English and Hebrew languages.[1]
He was closely associated with Shaikh Ali Hazin. He wielded influence in Awadh and is said to have been the de facto Prime Minister during Roshan ud Din's Prime Minisrship.[2]
Mirza Ghalib received an invitation to a reception in audience by the ruler's Deputy Prime Minister i.e. Subhan Ali Kamboh but the meeting did not happen because Mirza Ghalib stipulated two pre-conditions to his meeting with the formers: (1), that he be granted 'due honor' and (2), that he should be 'excused from making the customary peshkash '. Benefactors did not like pre-conditions being laid down by the supplicants hence the meeting failed.[3]
