Rohilkhand

The plain between the Ramganga and the Ganges below the Himalayan foot: Sambhal, Amroha, Bareilly, Pilibhit and Rampur.

Katehriya Rajput clans hold it; the name Rohilkhand is eighteenth-century and the name Katehr is attested from the 1250s, so the country is drawn from later evidence.
