The Rohilla dynasty was a dynasty that ruled over much of North-West Uttar Pradesh in the form of Rohilkhand[1][2] and later until 1947, the Princely state of Rampur. At the height of their power the dynasty ruled over the Kingdom of Rohilkhand and held suzairnty over the Kingdom of Kumaon and Kingdom of Garhwhal.[1][2][3][4]
The Nawabs of Rampur eliminated communal violence during their reign, even when there was wide spread ethnic cleansing of Muslim subjects in the states of Sikh States, Alwar and Bharatpur during the Partition Riots, widely believed to have been ordered by their rulers. The Nawab on the other hand, strictly forbade his nobles from committing reprisal attacks against non-Muslims.[5][6][7]
