. The north-western provinces of India : their history, ethnology, and administration . cient lords, as itpleased the accusers of Warren Hastings later on to assert, rose in rebellion. Their first leader, Ali Muhammad Khan, after conquering the hill tract of Kumaun as far as Almora, was finally defeated by the Emperor Muhammad Shah. Hissuccessor, the notorious Hafiz Rahmat Khan, was engagedin war with the Wazir of Oudh, allied with the Marhattas.The end came when the Oudh Government called in the aidof a British contingent, and the stormy career of the Rohillachief ended in his death in 1774 at the battle of MiranpurKatra, It is needless to say that these events led to pro-tracted controversy.

During this general chaos another race, the Jats, made abid for power in the Central Ganges-Jumna Duab. Theyhad always been more or less independent. Both Timur andBabar were obliged to turn aside to repress these sturdyfreebooters. In the latter half of the eighteenth century they, too, joined in the general scramble for the Duab carried onby the Wazir of Oudh, Marhattas, and Rohillas. After therout of the Marhattas at Panipat they managed to seizeAgra. The guides still show the crack in the black marblethrone of Jahangir which occurred, they say, when the impiousJat of Bhartpur placed his foot upon the seat of the Emperor.Another story
