Indian caste
The Orh (also known as Oad, Odh, Orh Rajput or Orad Rajput)[1][2] is a drifting tribe of labourers in Gujarat, Kathiawar, and some parts of Rajasthan. They drift and shift lock, stock, and barrel with their families wherever work is to be done.[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]
