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.
bhusaris are kshatriyas(aroras)
Khatri Punjabis Basically 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.
Vaishya though the whole parent group of aroras forcibly got themselves included in khatri in 1929 in lahore. Arora family is from Arorkot in sindh now in pakistan.
All people who follow Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji are Sikhs... Jatts and Aroras who follow Sikhism are true Sikhs ...Caste-ism is not a symbol of true Sikhism and anybody who believes in caste-ism is not a true Sikh.
