Rawthers- In  a nutshell





Let me give a small introduction to the Rawthers community. 
Rawther or Ravuthar is a Muslim community from the South Indian states ofTamil Nadu and Kerala. Rowthers follow the Hanafi school of Fiqh. The community is also known as turukkars, meaning Turk, owing to their Turkish ancestry and history. 
They are descendants of a group of Muslim soldiers, a mixture of local maravars and Arabian and Turkish horse-traders and Rajputs of North India who came to South India in the 12th century as a part of the Turkish armies.

I will upload more about not only the Rawthers but other Indian communities to make them feel proud of their roots and ancestors.
