Mirzai

Mirzai is a derogatory religious slur used by some South Asian Muslims to refer to Ahmadi Muslims, primarily in Pakistan.[1]

Etymologically, the term is derived from Mirza, a title of Persian origin denoting the rank of high nobleman or Prince.

Mirzais are mostly the followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.
