Sodhis are Jatt and khatri clan of Punjab region.
Sodhis are Jatt and khatri. Caste system was introduced according to one's occupation.Basically,people who were engaged in farming ,were Jatt. In malwa and doaba region,Sodhis have their occupation in farming as well as in business.Those who are in farming are Jatts.And well known as Jatt Jamindar.My paternal aunt is Sodhi and they are Jatt.I know many families, who are Sodhi Jatt.Kindly fall light on this side too.

There are many Brahmin families working in farms, running estates and businesses as well. Not all people engaged in farming are Jatt. Heredeterily, people who are engaged in "agriculture, cattle-rearing and trade" are categorized as Vaishyas by Kautilya. Please read the following source: Boesche, Roger (2017). Kautilya: The First Great Political Realist. India: Harper Collins. p. 24. ISBN 978-0-73910-607-5. The idea is that Sodhi, as a clan, belongs to the Khatri group. Kindly also refer to the Bachittar Natak, attributed to Guru Gobind Singh. talk

Many Arora and Khatri surname overlap. As you can see, https://khatrisamaj.blogspot.com/2010/07/962-7.html?m=1 - Sodhi is counted as a branch of Aroda/Arora by a nationally acclaimed Khatri Astrologer Sangeeta Puri for last 10 years on her blog.

Farming is not a Kshatriya Job. Trading is not a Kshatriya job either./ Cattle-rearing, plus the former two are Vaishya's jobs. Sodhi is a Suryavanshi Clan. No caste is perfect, Sir. Accordig to the Puranas, all Suryavanshis, including Maharan Pratap and Guru Govind Singh, Raja Janak and Raja Rama belong to Kashyap Rishi Lineage.

Sodhi is also a Jatt clan, not just a Khatri one
Sodhi is both Jatt and Khatri. There are many Sodhi's Jatt's across Punjab, especially in Doaba and Malwa. Singhpbx1 (talk) 02:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
