Talk:Rohilla

Title of this page

There is no such article yet, but the title Rohilla or Rohillas really belongs to the Afghan tribe of that name, who established a state in Northern Uttar Pradesh (Rohilkhand) between 1623 & 1949, and after whom this ship is named. Perhaps this page could be moved to S.S. Rohilla ? Sikandarji 17:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Map of India removed

Rohillas were Pashtun tribes from regions in Afghanistan and Pakistan and settled and created empire in Rohilkhand region of modern Uttar Pradesh, India. The map should include all mentioned regions.

Yousafzai or Bangash?

I hate to be a nitpicker, but many history books say that the Rohillas were largely of the Bangash tribe.

Rohilla still in India

This article seems to indicate the Rohilla community emigrated to Pakistan, after independence. Most Rohillas have remained in India. Secondly, by early 19th Century, most had switched to Urdu. In customs, they were and are similar to other north Indian Muslim communities.

Thanks for updating the page

Hi all,

I'm a Rohillah (we place an "h" at the end of ours) whose grandparents migrated from UP to Pakistan. My grandfather always told me we were Yousafzai Omerkhail Pashtuns. I still have family in UP around the Barielly area in a village called Daleel Ganj just outside of Pilibhit. I had a chance to visit there and see the mosque of Hafiz Rehmat Khan. Just being in the same area of my ancestors was a great experience for me. I'm glad to see that Wikipedia has an article on my ancestors and wanted to thank the person that wrote it.

Thanks again,

R Rohillah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rehan R (talk • contribs) 22:25, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

In Pakistan

"They are highly discriminated in Pakistan and finally formed their own political association joining MQM in huge numbers."

This statement seems to be discriminatory. Showing that 'Rohillas' are highly discriminated in Pakistan. Would someone furnish a reference? As far as Wiki says 'Gen. Akhtar Abdur Rehman' and 'Sahabzada Yaqoob' were Rohillas. It is highly unlikely that in a society what discriminates against a particular group, people of belonging to that group are able to clinch the top positions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.28.49.56 (talk) 17:22, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
