Identity, pinned three ways against the elder namesake: (i) the QID comes from the article 'Ghulam Ali (singer)', which carries a distinguish hatnote against Bade Ghulam Ali Khan and the short description 'Pakistani singer (born 1940)'; (ii) the biography matches at every point — born 5 December 1940 in the Sialkot district, Patiala gharana, Radio Pakistan from 1960, the Nikah (1982) breakthrough; (iii) decisively, he is the elder singer's DISCIPLE — the English lead calls him 'a disciple of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan', trained also by the elder's younger brothers Barkat Ali Khan and Mubarak Ali Khan, and the Urdu article tells how his father, a great admirer of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, took the boy to him — so the two men are teacher and pupil, not one man. Bade Ghulam Ali Khan (1902–1968) holds his own record, person/bade-ghulam-ali-khan. HOMONYM RISK, reported for data/_homonyms.yaml: the labels do NOT collide in any language (his غلام علي / Ghulam Ali / غلام علی against the elder's بادي غلام علي خان / Bade Ghulam Ali Khan / بڑے غلام علی خان), so no namesakes entry is required on labels; but the two men share the name string 'Ghulam Ali Khan' — the younger man's infobox name, and a full name recorded in the elder's record — and searchers routinely confuse them, so if the validator ever keys on name values as well as labels, this pair is the first candidate for a namesakes line. No Arabic Wikipedia article exists for him; the Arabic prose is written from the English and Urdu sources and this is stated here. Relations written: none — his birthplace has no place entity, and although a Lahore residence is widely reported, the retrieved article texts do not state it (the Urdu article attests his career beginning at Radio Pakistan, Lahore, in 1960, a career fact), so no lived_in edge is written on an unverified residence.
