The Pathans of Madhya Pradesh are an Urdu-speaking Pashtun community settled in the present-day Indian state of Madhya Pradesh as well as a small minority of internal migrants and their descendants in neighbouring Chhattisgarh state, which was partitioned in 2000.

## History and origin

[edit]

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, in which it became an aspect of their local architecture.[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 Indian Rohillas from neighbouring Uttar Pradesh as well as other Indian Muslim freebooters of Uttar Pradesh, such as the Indian Sayyids.[3][4]
