Aror.--While at Rorhi, a visit may be paid to the very ancient town of Aor, which is only 5 m. distant to the E. This was the capital of the Hindu Rajas of Sindh and was taken from them by the Muslims, under Muhammad Kasim, about 711 A.D. At that time the Indus washed the city of Battle of Aror, but it was diverted from it by an earthquake about 962 A.D., at which the river entered its present channel.

The Arora or Rora is a community of traders of the south-western part of the Punjab. Their origin according to the Bhavishya Purana, can be traced back to the time of Parshuram, who in anger started killing members of the Kshatriya caste. In this process, Parshuram met a Kshatriya who refused to oppose the Brahmans, and winning Parshuram's respect, was asked to go to Sindh to settle there. Later, the place came to be known as Arutkot or Arorkot. His progeny are called Aroras.
The Arora or Rora is evidently connected with Arorkot near Rori (Sukkur), the ancient capital of Sindh .
The Aroras were also said to be the Khatris of Arorkot, or Aror, the ancient capital of Sindh.
This Arorkot is Arore or Alore and the Aroras are called after the name of the ancient capital Arore.
More than a thousand years ago Arore (also known as Alore) was the capital of Sindh, and the boundaries of this Hindu kingdom extended far and wide.
