- The Barha dynasty was a Shi'a Indian Muslim dynasty of Sayyid origin, descending from the 7th-century AD caliph Ali. It is among the largest and oldest royal houses in India and the world, and consists of Abdullah al Wasiti, the founder of the dynasty, and his male-line descendants, who ruled in South Asia from their arrival at the close of the 10th century until the second half of the 20th century. The abolition of the Indian princely states, including the princely state of Rampur, ruled by the Rohilla branch of the Barha dynasty, brought their rule to an end. The dynasty is well known for the martial prowess of its members who always lead their armies from the vanguard. However, it is best remembered for its member's role as de facto rulers over most of South Asia at the start of the 18th century, as well as their general tolerance to their non-Muslim subjects. The Nawabs of Rampur eliminated communal violence during their reign, and when during the Partition Riots other rulers such as those of the Sikh States, Alwar and Bharatpur are widely believed to have ordered the ethnic cleansing of their Muslim subjects, the Nawab on the other hand, strictly forbade his hot-blooded Pashtun nobles from committing reprisal attacks against non-Muslims. The powerful Nawab Hussain Ali Khan and Nawab Abdullah Khan abolished poll tax against non-Muslims throughout India, brought the Marathas into the Mughal fold and helped win over Hindu Rajput rulers like Ajit Singh of Marwar.
