History of Arora(Arorvanshi khatri)

History of Arora dynasty

Aroras are descendants of Maharaja Arut, who was a Suryavanshi Kshatriya king. Arut Vanshi Kshatriyas are mentioned in *Bhavishya Purana*.

In Mahabharata* they are described as *Aratta Kshatriyas* whose kingdom was named *Shivi* and the capital of that kingdom was *Arutpura. This kingdom was around the border of northern Sindh and Punjab. Today Arutpura is known as *Aror Kot* or Arora in Sindh.

In later history, it is also mentioned that Aratta Kshatriyas helped Chandragupta Maurya in overthrowing the powerful empire of the Nanda dynasty. Later some Aratta Kshatriyas went into the horse trade from Central Asia.

Aratta Kshatriyas came to be known as Arora in later times. Rai dynasty of Sindh which ruled from 5th to 7th century belonged to Lohana branch of Aroda. Historical document Chachnama mentions that father of Sindh king Dahir Chach (Yash) was a minister of Rai king of Aroda and killed Rai king by deceit and captured his kingdom. Chach and his son Dahir later suppressed Aroda and imposed restrictions on them because they considered Aroda a threat to their kingdom. Due to this reason when Sindh was attacked by Muhammad bin Qasim in 712 AD, Aroda did not help King Dahir due to which he was defeated and Muslims ruled India for the first time. Later due to continuous attacks of Muslims on Sindh and Punjab, Aroras could not re-establish their kingdom and Arora dynasty disintegrated. Arora Khatri settled in different provinces like Sindh, Punjab, Afghanistan and adopted different professions for livelihood like trade, farming. Arora Khatri later matrimonial relations were formed with Khatris and Bhatis of Punjab.

Arora's original gotra is Kashyap because they are Suryavanshi. Arora has many surnames like - Gulati, Chawla, Batra, Taneja, Juneja, Dudeja, Tuteja, Raheja, Mehta, Miglani, Khanna, Sardana, Ahuja, Rajpal, Kukreja, Saluja, Chhabra, Kalra, Wadhwa, Sachdeva, Geda, Manchanda, Khattar, Mehndiratta, Dua, Gambhir, Madan, Dhingra, Narula, Pahwa, Narang, Gandhi..etc..

Sardana surname is belongs to punjabi khatri Family [pure vedic kshatriya]

1881 In Lahore, Punjab, an English writer had described Khatri and Arora as different, due to which the Aroravansh Panchayat responded in 1888 and made a 16-page record of its own, in which it wrote its history and told that it is not different, it is the same. He told that this thing has been done to create a separate divide between Arora who was a Khatri of Sindh and Khatris of Punjab (Malhotra, Kapoor, Bedi, Sodhi etc.). So that he could not compete with the British. And he also told how we are Kshatriyas and what are our customs in which he also told the history of Sardana surname (Khatri)

This was written in the document.👇

In the primitive period of society, Arora was dedicated to government service as well as business etc. A sub-division of our caste called Shir-Dana (SARDANA) believes that they are descendants of a Rajput king who sacrificed his head (soul and soul) for the defense of his country and whose family Later he went to a village near Multan. He has the history of his family, which without any hesitation proves the earlier statement that our community is definitely the descendants of true Kshatriyas and they have the deeds which are the characteristics of a true Kshatriya. Even during the Sikh period their high ambition was to serve the government,

The Aswal tribe is spread in many parts of India. Aswals belong to one of the highest ranks of the Rajput clan, with Gotras like Bharadwaja, etc. Aswals are Royal Rajputs and mainly belong to the Garhwali tribes in the mountain ranges of Uttarakhand. Aswals of the Garhwali region are descendants of one of the many Rajput clans, the Chauhans.They are agnivanshi which is sub clan ofsuryavansh As per the history of Rajputs, Aswals were the rulers of kingdoms or held the ranks of army commanders(Senapati). They were supposed to be intelligent and physically strong so were allocated to important ranks in the army. To spread their kingdoms, they gradually shifted from Rajasthan to North India, now called as Uttarakhand. They have been migrated from ranthambore. Aswal means ashva sawar as the chauhans were coming on their horses. There is a proverb in garwhal that "aadho aswal, addho garwhal" means half aswal , half garwhal. Half aswal because they are not real aswal as real aswal are khateek and half garwhal because they ruled west and east garwhal before panwar.

Aswals from the mountain ranges of Uttarakhand are very small in number, ranging from a few hundreds in the mountains to a total population of about 5000 worldwide. Many have migrated to the plains and foreign countries like the U.S.A. and U.K.

The Khateek Aswals from Punjab seem to have taken the Aswal name fron the Aswals from the mountain ranges. THE RAJPUT Aswal and the khateek aswal are both very different things not to be confused."The Himalayan Gazateer " of E. Atkinson consider the to be come from plains belonging to one of the highest kshatriya clan and different from the majoritarian Khas people of uttarakhand. They are distributed in kumaon(Bageshwar,Ranikhet,Berinag etc) and garhwal regions of Uttarakhand.Pt.Ganga Dutt Upreti in his book "Kumaon ki Fauji Zatiya" keep them in 26 best warrior caste of kumaon But nowdays many SCs of lower caste in migrating form mountains to plains change their caste to aswal to acquire prestige in society.So do not confuse with them
