Marowtherjew 2

Rowther is the racial term for those Southern Indians who are the descendants of the Mughal cavalrymen having both Dravidian, Turkish and Arab blood. Unlike the other South Indian Muslims they were of the Hanafi school of law . They brought Islam to Malacca but most of them who came to the Malayan peninsula changed their mazhab or school of law to Shafieyyah mostly because they married Malay women like Haji Naina Navina Nagore Pitchay the third hereditary Tiger of Patna.
