History and origin[edit | edit source]
The early Pathan settlers in what became the princely state of Bhopal were known as Barru-kat, because they initially used reeds for roofing their houses, which became an aspect of their local architecture.[1]
Bhopal became a hub for Pathan settlement, with others arriving to be soldiers in the army of the Begum of Bhopal. Immigration continued until the creation of Pakistan in 1947.[2]
The state of Jaora was settled by Indian Rohillas from neighbouring Uttar Pradesh as well as other Indian Muslim freebooters of Uttar Pradesh, such as the Indian Sayyids.[3][4]
