- Rohtas Fort is a 16th-century fortress located near the city of Jehlum in the Pakistani province of Punjab. The fort is one of the largest and most formidable in the subcontinent. Rohtas Fort was never stormed by force and has survived remarkably intact.
The fortress was built by Raja Todar Mal on the orders of Sher Shah Suri, partly to suppress the local Gakhar tribes of the Potohar region. Some Gakhar tribes were allies of the Mughal Empire and refused to recognize the suzerainty of Sher Shah Suri.
