Orh
The Orh (also known as Oad, Odh, Orh Rajput or Orad Rajput)[1][2] is a community of drifting labourers in Gujarat, Kathiawar, and parts of Rajasthan.[3] They are said to hold a variety of occupations. As artisans, they are carpenters, masons and stoneworkers and were considered to be Dalits.[4][5][6] As traders, they deal in grain, spices, perfumes, and cloth.[7] They are spread across 40 villages in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh where they bear surnames like Gadahi, Bhagat, Galgat, Kahlia, Kudavali, Maangal, Majoka, Mundai, Sarvana, and Virpali.[2] The Orh are recognised as part of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the state of Rajasthan.[8] In Pakistan, the community is settled in Sindh, Balochistan and lower Punjab, where their primary occupation is to build mud-houses, locally referred to as Oadki houses.[9][10]
