Ali Mohammed Khan

Ali Mohammed Khan (bf.1706 - September 15, 1748)^[1] was a rohilla (Pashtun highlanders) chief who founded the Pathan (Pashtun) state of Rohilkhand in the northwestern region of the Uttar Pradesh state of India. He succeeded rohilla Sardar Daud Khan and helped develop Rohilkhand into a powerful nation, which became independent in 1721. Safdar Jang of Oudh informed the Mughal emperor of India Mohammed Shah^[2] (ruled 1719-1748) about Ali Mohammmed Khan's supposed intentions to create his own Sultanate. Mohammmed Shah sent an expedition against him, as a result of which he was imprisoned. Later he was pardoned and made governor of Sirhind. After Nadir Shah, the conqueror of Iran, took control of Kabul and sacked Delhi in 1739, Ali Mohammed Khan returned to his homeland and ruled the independent state of Rohilkhand until his death in 1748.

Descendants

Nawab^[3] Faizullah Khan ((1730? - 1793) was the second son of Ali Mohammed Khan and assumed rule of the Rohilla dynasty after his fathers death. In 1774, during the invasion of Rohilkhand by the united armies of the Vizier Sujah ul Dowlah and the British East India Company, Faizullah Khan led a resistance in which many of the Rohilla's principal chiefs were slain. However, escaping from the slaughter, Faizullah Khan "made his retreat good towards the mountains, with all his treasure." He collected the scattered remains of his countrymen; and as he was the eldest surviving son of Ali Mohammed Khan, he seems at length to have been generally acknowledged by his natural subjects the undoubted heir of his father's authority.^[4]
