The Rohilla Pathans (Pashto: روهیله, Urdu: روہیلہ, Hindi: रोहिला), or Rohilla Afghan, is a community of Urdu-speaking people of Pashtun ethnicity, historically found in Rohilkhand, a region in the state of Uttar Pradesh, North India. It forms the largest Pashtun diaspora community in India, and has given its name to the Rohilkhand region. Historically, Pashtun people were refereed to as Afghan, but present-day Indian constitution does not recognize Pathan as being synonymous with Afghan.
The Rohilla Pathans are found all over Uttar Pradesh, but are more concentrated in the Rohilkhand regions of Bareilly, Shahjahanpur and Rampur district. Some members of the Rohilla migrated to Pakistan and settled in Karachi after the independence of Pakistan in 1947. Today they make up 30-35% of the Muhajir community of Sindh. Smaller scattered populations of Rohillas of Afghan descent can be found in Burma and the South American countries of Suriname and Guyana.
The term Rohilla is derived from the word Roh, meaning mountain, and literally means mountain wind. Roh was the name of the area around Peshawar city, in Pakistan. Yousafzai Pathans especially the Mandarr sub clan living in this valley were also known as Rohillas when they settled the area then known as Katehr. It later became known as Rohil Khand which means the land of the Rohillas. The great majority of Rohillas migrated here between 17th and 18th Century." However, in Uttar Pradesh the term was used for Pashtuns who settled in the Rohilkhand region, or for men serving under Rohilla chiefs.

Shipwreck - location unknown. Lifeboat crews rescue survivors of the wrecked hospital ship Rohilla. Exciting footage. Small crowd on shore looking toward wrecked ship not far from shore; looks like it crashed on rocks. Lifeboat at water's edge; wreck in BG.; pan right to long line of people holding hands to form a chain (presumably to walk out toward wreck). Shot from high position of wreck w/ waves crashing around. Then closer shots of the action on the beach: teams of men holding onto ropes are trying to get closer to wreck; waves sweeping over heads of those farther out. While this is going on; some of the survivors stagger across beach toward camera; held up by a few rescue workers. Others are carried. People walking along beach; women wrapped in shawls or blankets; a group of...
At some point of time, all of us must have felt the need of knowing about our history. So, out of this need and my own curiosity, I have been trying to compile the available information on the History of Rohilla Rajputs. To give it a wider accessibility and awareness of royal history of Rohilla Rajputs, I am uploading it on 'Facebook & linkedin' as well. I hope this will impart all Rohillas a new perspective.
21-year-old Sushant Rohilla would have been a fourth year student at Amity Law school, Noida, had he been allowed to give his semester end exams. Sushant hanged himself to death on 10 August, a step that friends and family say was a result of Amity’s arbitrary system of attendance and detention. On Tuesday, students and alumni of the college stood outside the gates of the Noida campus demanding justice for Sushant. They want authorities to acknowledge the part they played in the tragedy, and to resign immediately. What drove this boy to take a step as extreme as this?
