Best Answer

Arora Sikhs normally come from industrialists and trader Sikh community now vs. Jatts who are usually agriculturists. Aroras are Kshatriyas in Hinduism and in fact got converted to Sikhism as Warriors initially because fighting against oppression was the major reason of Arora conversion from Hinduism to Sikhism as compared to Jatts who converted to fight against oppression and enjoy fruits of a path that got them free from clutches of Hindu caste-ism where they were considered Shudras (still in hinduism, jatts are mostly shudras).

Both Jatts and Aroras enjoy a good status in Sikhism.

However, Sikhism was always supposed to be a single community - not arora, khatri, jatt, ravidasia etc.....

Mostly it has been found that certain factions (especially hindu religious groups and Hindu Jatts who hate Sikh Jatts progressiveness and the close proximity of all Sikhs without any caste bias) are trying to create a divide amongst Sikhs specially Aroras. Khatris and Jatts. All those are progressive communities and need to understand - Sikh First, Jatt/Arora later. Do not fall for traps.

Why Sikh jatts hate khatris or aroras?

Jatts are generally people who go by their heart rather than brain so it is very easy for snti-social elements to fool them. Hindu jatts are trying to create a divide between Sikhs by distinguishing between Sikhs and Sikh Jatts are easily attracted to this notion that they are superiors and Khatri/Aroras are inferior. Other hindu groups similarly tell Khatris/Aroras that they are superiors as they converted from Kshatriya caste and Gurus were Khatris. Now it is upto Sikhs to decide to fall for such traps set by politicians and other communities or stay as united Sikhs rejecting caste-ism. In general, Siks do not hate each other on basis of caste.

How make casting?

Pruthi (Family Name), a prominent clan from the Aroras (Hindi: अरोड़ा, Punjabi: ਅਰੋੜਾ) (or Aror-vanshis, Aror Bans) are an indo European warrior(Hindu kshatriyas) community of the Punjab and Sindh. This cast among Punjabis include Sikhs and Non Sikhs, Hindus mostly from Multan and Jhang district, Shorkot now in Pakistan.They are a group of Indo-Aryans who remained in the Indus Valley throughout most of their history. The Arora people are predominantly Hindu, but over their history some of them have accepted Sikhism.The name Arora itself derives from Sanskrit Aroda. The city of Aror (Arorkot, Alor) was named after the Aroras, who founded and controlled the city during ancient times. They can also be called 'Aryans', the common racial name, understood by one and all. 'Arya' is also one of the subcastes of 'Aroras'.Some historians believe that Aroras are descendants of an Indo-Aryan group known in the ancient times as Arattas (Arachosians) mentioned in the epic MahabharataArora families in India place great emphasis and attention to the education of their children including their daughters; because of this, they have become prosperous and are successful in many diverse professions such as trade, education, medicine, finance, technology, engineering, manufacturing, entertainment, arts, armed forces and bureaucracy. They have achieved remarkable success despite lack of a political power-base, vigorous attempts to disparage and/or to suppress them by Muslims in pre-partition Punjab and Sind, and loss of their homes, businesses, properties and bank deposits at the time of partition in 1947. Another prominent bank of the masses at that time in Punjab ( Punjab National Bank) is reported to have played a very positive role by encashing bank deposits of migrants based on pass book entries even though the bank had lost its records in Pakistan.Aroras have taken roles in the Indian Armed Forces. Late Lt. Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora and Gen. J.J. Singh are two prominent contributions of the Arora community to Indian Armed Forces. Aroras were particularly prominent in the recent Kargil War also. Vikram Batra was declared a war hero in India, as was Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja, both of whom died during the conflictsHindu Aroras are very tolerant in their religious faith. Most are followers of the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism "The Vedas" however, they respect the sanctity of and frequently visit Arya Samaj temples and Sikh Gurdwaras. For several centuries in the past, the eldest son of an Arora Hindu family voluntarily changed his religion to Sikhism as a family responsibility to give a leader and a fighter and also as the devotion to the Sikh Gurus.

Is tuteja caste a scheduled caste?

TUTEJA surname belongs to Arora khatri caste (Arorvanshi khatri pure vedic kshatriya) 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..
