History of Aror
The Aroras originated from the Aror. They were the Kshatriya of Aror. During the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the Aroras were settled in Amritsar. There is a street in Amritsar named after them as Arorianwali Gali. After the decline of the Indus Valley Civilization, the Indo -Aryans migrated to the east and south but some of them setteled in the Punjab region. It is said that the Aroras are one of these groups.

Some historians are of the veiw that the Aroras are descendants of an Indo-Aryan group known as Arattas(Arachosians). From Arachosia they migrated to Sindh and populated the Indus valley. Aror and Arora are derivatives of Aratta. The name of the city(Aror) was derived from a place named Aror which was situated near the modern towns of Rohri and Sukkur in Sindh, Pakistan. It is also believed that the legendary Parasurama drove them towards Multan, near by this place they founded Arorkot (or Aror). There they were cursed by a faqir. Then the town became desolate and they fled through its three gates to the north, south and west, and the three main groups (Uttradhi, Dakhna and Gujarati or Dahra) arose.

It was the capital of Sindh when it was ruled by King Dahir. In 711 AD Muhammad bin Qasim ruled the city and moved the capital to Mansura. In the 10th century as the result of a massive earth quake, Indus changed its course. The present course of Indus is west of Aror. At present Aror is a small dusty village.

During the Indian Independence Aror`s joined hands with the rest of India. As they belonged to the Western Punjab region, the Aroras migrated to India during the Partition of India.
