The Rowther are originally a Tamil community from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. They were converted to Islam by preacher Nathar Shah. Even after conversion they retained their caste name. They were elite cavalrymen of the Chola and Pandya kingdoms. They were traditionally a martial clan like the Maravars, and constitute large part of the multi-ethnic Tamil Muslim community. Rowthers have also been found as Tamil polygars, zamindars and chieftains from the 16th to 18th centuries. The
