Sher Shah constructed Rohtas Fort to block Emperor Humayun's homecoming
to India after defeating him in the Battle of Kanauj. This fort slander on the
old GT road between the North (Afghanistan and western Pakistan today) to the
Plains of Punjab. The reason of its construction was to suppress the local
tribes of this region Potohar. Sher Shah Suri was well aware of the bravery of
Potohari people since they had the history for defending their lands for
thousands of years and the old king of Northern Punjab known as King Porus face
up to Alexander the Great and fought so hard that Alexander decided to leave
him as a King of Peruvia that was later known as Northern Punjab or Potohar. Gakhars
were not local tribe of Potohar region. They helped Hamayoun to escape from
India after his defeat in the battle of Kanauj, and as a reward Hamayoun helped
Gakhars in occupying Potohar region, which was originally own by local tribes
such as Khokhars, Janjua Rajputs, Minhas Rajputs and some other clans. These
local tribes were allies of Mughal Emperor Babur but they refused their
allegiance to Hamayoun as he helped Gakhars in occupying their lands instead
they allied with Sher Shah Suri. The local tribes of Potohar were already
fighting with Gakhars. Sher Shah instructed the local tribes to help construct
the fort to crush the Gakhars. when the latter became openly disobedient
and persecute labourers who attended the construction.
The Fort was built by Todar Mal under orders of Sher Shah.
