Ror or Rod is an Indian caste found mainly in the North Indian state of Haryana. It is one of the 36 main Jātis in Haryana.^[2]^[3]^[4] In the parts of Baiswara in Uttar Pradesh that are inhabited by Ror people,^[5] Rors along with similar groups like Bhatis, Chauhans and Tomars are associated with Delhi and its outskirts. The migration history of Rors began and ended in Haryana, a region north of Delhi.^[6]

Demographics

According to a 1994 report by the Anthropological Survey of India, the largest concentration of Rors are found in Karnal, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Panipat, Sonipat, Fatehabad and Jind district of Haryana.^[7]

History

The Ror dynasty was a power from the Indian subcontinent that ruled modern-day Sindh and northwest India from 450 BC.^[8] As capital of the Sauvira Kingdom, Roruka is mentioned as an important trading center in early Buddhist literature.^[9] Buddhist Jataka stories talk about exchanges of gifts between King Rudrayan of Roruka and King Bimbisara of Magadha.^[10] Divyavadana, the Buddhist chronicle has said that Ror historically competed with Pataliputra in terms of political influence.^[11] The scholar T.W. Rhys Davids has mentioned Roruka as one of the most important cities of India in the 7th century BCE.^[12]

Shortly after the reign of Rudrayan, in the times of his son Shikhandi, Roruka got wiped out in a major sand storm.^[13] This event is recorded in both Buddhist (Bhallatiya Jataka) and Jain^[14] annals.

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.^[15]^[1] Some Rors work in organised sectors and also in foreign countries such as Australia, United States, Canada, New Zealand, UK. ^{[citation needed]}

Located in Karnal, the Ror Mahasabha or Caste panchayat has the role of bringing social reforms to the community. The majority are Hindu but some follow Sikhism.^[1] Major festivals celebrated by the Rors are Holi and Diwali.^[1]

Notable people

Neeraj Chopra, Indian javelin thrower ^[16]
Harwinder Kalyan, BJP MLA from Gharaunda constituency^[17]
Dalel Singh Ror, Indian volleyball player
Manoj Kumar (boxer)^[18]
