The term Rohillas refers to either Muslim highlander tribes Rohilla-Afgans or Rohillas〔''A Gazetteer of Moradabad District'' by H Neville page 78〕 or Hindu Rajputs of Rohilla((ヒンディー語:रोहिल्ला)) clan. (Roh stands for mountains and Aditya Rohilla ((ヒンディー語:आदित्य रोहिल्ला)) literally means mountaineer). ==Origin== According to a British General Cunningham and a king Shri Jai Chand's accounts, the land from where the Rohillas migrated into India was present Afghanistan which was called " Ruh Desh" in the Middle Ages. Kabul's history dates back more than 3,500 years. It was once the center of Zoroastrianism and subsequently also a home for Buddhists and Hindus kings. Arab Muslims invaded the area in the 7th century by introducing Islam but was slowly taken back by the Hindu Shahi's of Kabul.〔 It was again invaded by the Saffarids and Samanids in the 9th century followed by Mahmud of Ghazni]] in the 11th century, when the Hindu Shahi King Jay Pala committed suicide. When Ruh Desh turned Muslim, the Hindus living there left their motherland and came to India about the 9th or 10th century AD. On Page 3 of the "Kshatriya Vartman", a book written by Thakur Ajit Singh Parhiar, along with the inscription from a Shiv Temple in Gujarat (Kathiwar) clearly establish "Rohillas". Some of the clans of Rohilla Rajput in Rajasthan and Gujarat (Pipa Vanshi) chiefly belong to saint Pipa Ji or Bhagat Pipa, a Rohilla Rajput king from Rajasthan, who later became a saint, devoted himself to Lord Krishna, and spent the last years of his life in Gujarat. His vani is also mentioned in Holy book Guru Granth Sahib. Pipa's birth name was Pratap Rao, who took birth at Gagaron, in present-day Jhalawar district of Rajasthan in a Khichi Chauhan Rajput family. 〔Sehrai, Fidaullah (1979). Hund: ''The Forgotten City of Gandhara'', p. 2. Peshawar Museum Publications New Series, Peshawar.〕 Some of the clans are sometimes referred as "Taank Rajput" or "Rohilla Taank".〔( ''People of India: Rajasthan'' ), edited by K. S. Singh〕 They constitute one of the societies of the Rajput clans which is either referred as Tak, Tank or Taank whose ancestors fought a battle against Muhammad Gauri or "Ghauri" and his later descendants. When the Rajputs lost everything in the wars, they had to turn their livelihood to agriculture so that they could escape conversion of religion and preserve the honour of their women. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rohilla Rajputs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
