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.[1] The community has also been noted in Haryana.[2]
History
The Ror history begins and ends in Haryana. According to Denzil Ibbetson, Jhajjar district of Haryana is claimed by the Rors as their place of origin.[3]
As per 1883-84 survey, the only Ror village was Jowara, which was settled by immigrants from Badli.[4] According a 1918 survey, Rors held 84 villages in Pheoa and 12 villages beyond the Ganges. They had the strongest presence in Indri Nardak and Mori Nardak. They had substantial presence on the east of Pargana Kaithal and south of Kaithal tahsil near the Jind border.[5]
As of a 1990 report by the Backward Classes Commission, Government of Haryana, they were mostly engaged in farming.[6]
