                Rohillas Pathans the warrior class were migrated from Afghanistan in search of jobs. Pakhtun tribe people settled in Rohilkhand in early eighteenth century by Daud Khan. Rohillas captured Bijnor, parts of Haridwar, Saharanpur, Barelly, Moradabad, Pilibhit, Rampur, Shahjahnapur (Rohilkhand). Rohillas were always engaged in wars with the above territories rulers.  
 When Rohillas captured Kumaon in 1742, Rohillas were eager to attack on Garhwal. Garhwal King Pradip Shah helped Kumaon King Kalyan Chand and paid rupees three laksh to Rohillas for leaving Kumaon. Rohilla Sardar (Cheiftain) attacked on Salan and part of Dehradun and captured for some time. However, Garhwal King did not accept rule or submission of Rohillas at any time. There had been small time battles with Rohillas till Gorkha invaded Garhwal.  People of Salan fought their own battles with Rohillas many times. There was resistance from rohillas for British army in the forest edges of Timli, Mohund, Kansaro, Hardiwar.
             Rohillas broke temples of Ganga Salan, Malla Salan  and Talla Salan . That is why there are many folk stories of a Gujjar breaking Shiv Ling or idol/sculpture of Devi and the idol parts scattering other places.
           Rohillas were cruel and used to capture slaves and used to burn humans for making wound medicine called Ramtel from blood of men. There are folk stories in each village of Dhangu, Ajmer, Udaipur and Langur , Sheela Pattis (Ganga Salan) about Gujjar capturing men and producing Ramtel by hanging shaved man on a hot Kadhai.  
 Rohilla Sardar helped Dehradun people to increase crop production by helping digging canals in Dehradun.
