History

The First Rohilla War of 1773–1774 was a punitive campaign by Shuja-ud-Daula, Nawab of Awadh, against the Rohillas, Afghan highlanders settled in Rohilkhand, northern India. The Nawab was supported by troops of the British East India Company, in a successful campaign brought about by the Rohillas reneging on a debt to the Nawab.The Rohillas under Hafiz Rahmat Ali Khan were defeated by Colonel Alexander Champion in April 1774. The decisive battle, in which Hafiz Rahmat Khan died, was at Miranpur Katra, on 23 April. Later, for very short period of time, it came under the control of Marathas.
