Rohilkhand (today Bareilly, Moradabad, Badaun and Rampur) is a region in the northwestern part of Uttar Pradesh, India, that is centered on the Bareilly and Moradabad divisions. It is part of the upper Ganges Plain, and is named after the Rohilla tribe of Pathans. The region was called Madhyadesh and Panchala in the Sanskrit epics Mahabharata and Ramayana.[1] During the colonial era in India, the region was governed by the Royal House of Rampur.[2]
