Ror


The Ror is a caste found mainly in northern India. In the parts of Baiswara in Uttar Pradesh that are inhabited by Ror people, they are known as Ror Thakurs and are found to be supporters of the Bais Thakurs. The community has also been noted in Haryana.

History

Concerning the origin of Rors, numerous versions of oral literature have been created. According to one of the sources, the Rors are linked to the Ror dynasty of Sindh. Almost nothing is known about its rulers, except that it was established by a chieftain named Raja Dhaj, who is believed to have built the ancient city of Rori Shankar or Aror. The Sur Sorath of Shah Jo Risalo mentions that Rai Diyach ruled from Junagadh, Gujarat, while other sources claim that he ruled from Sindh. There are no archeological evidences of this dynasty, except the ruins of the temple of Kalkaan Devi in the site of Aror. Hence, due to lack of evidences, historians have still not been able to reach to a conclusion.

Occupation and culture

As of a 1990 report by the Backward Classes Commission, Government of Haryana, they were mostly engaged in farming, with some practicing animal husbandry. Some Rors work in organised sectors.
