The Rowther (anglicised as Irauttar, Rawther, Ravuttar,Ravutta, Ravuthar, Ravuthamar) are originally a Tamil community from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.[1] they were converted to Islam by the preacher Nathar Shah.[2] Even after conversion they retained their caste name. they were elite cavalrymen of the Chola and Pandya kingdoms.[3] They were traditionally a martial clan like the Maravars,[4] and constitute large part of the multi-ethnic Tamil Muslim community.[5] Rowthers have also been found as Tamil polygars, zamindars and chieftains from the 16th to 18th centuries.[6] The traditional homelands of the Rowthers were in the interior of Southern Tamilakam.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
Another theory suggest they are descendants of Turkic people who came in Chola Empire.[13]
