History and origin
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.[1] Bhopal became a hub for Pathan settlement, with others arriving to be soldiers in the Begum's army. Immigration continued until the creation of Pakistan in 1947.[2] The state of Jaora was settled by Rohilla Pathans.[3]
