Pashtuns
established their independence in the country called by them Rohilkhand
; and about 1748 the Rohilla chief Ali Mohammed Khan
made his first annexations in Bijnor, the rest of which soon fell under the Rohilla domination. The northern districts were granted by Ali Mohammed Khan
to Najib Khan, who gradually extended his influence west of the Ganges and at Delhi
, receiving the title of Najib-ud-daula and becoming paymaster of the royal forces. His success, however, raised up powerful enemies against him, and at their instigation the Maratha
s invaded Bijnor. This was the beginning of a feud which continued for years. Najib, indeed, held his own, and for the part played by him in the victory of Panipat
was made vizier of the empire. After his death in 1770, however, his son Zabita Khan
was defeated by the Marathas, who overran all Rohilkhand

s in return for a money payment. He carried out his part of the bargain; but the Rohilla chieftains refused to pay. In 1774 the Nawab concluded with the East India Company government of Calcutta a treaty of alliance, and he now called upon the British, in accordance with its terms, to supply a brigade to assist him in enforcing his claims against the Rohillas. This was done; in the Rohilla War
, the Rohillas were driven beyond the Ganges, and Bijnor was incorporated in the territories of the nawab, who in 1774 ceded it to the British East India Company
. From this time the history of Bijnor is uneventful until the Mutiny of 1857, when (on the 1st of June) it was occupied by the nawab of Najibabad
, a grandson of Zabita Khan
. In spite of fighting between the Hindus and the Muslim Pashtuns, the Nawab
succeeded in maintaining his position until the 21st of April, 1858, when he was defeated by the British
