== History and origin ==<br />
The community claims to be [[Rajput]]s; some of them have converted to Islam others remain Hindu.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}<br />
They were originally settled in the city of [[Nagaur]], and Nagori literally means "an inhabitant of Nagaur". They speak [[Marwari , Hindi , Nagori languages|Nagori]] among themselves.<ref name=lal /> There are Hindu too with Nagori title who migrated from Nagaur district of [[Rajasthan]] to Didwana with the title Nagori with them, and today they are spread well throughout Jaipur, [[Bangalore]], [[Delhi]] and [[Mumbai]].{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}<br />
<br />
== Present circumstances ==<br />
The community is found in the districts of Nagaur, Rajasthan.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}<br />
The Nagoris are well known as marble tile manufacturers for the past 7 centuries and dairy farming for 4 decades. One of the biggest joint families in Nagaur belongs to Nagoris.<br />
<br />
In Nagaur, Rajasthan they have their own caste council, the Nagori Jamat. Also in Pakistan they have their own caste council known as Nagori Jammat and their president is changed after two years. Like many Muslim castes in India and Pakistan, they follow their own Islamic laws for society. They have developed charity work to pension widows, old people, schools, and hospitals. Nagoris are well settled in India (Mumbai ,Gujarat and Delhi, Jaipur), Pakistan (Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Umerkot, Tando Allahyar, Jhudo).<br />
<br />
With the change in the era, they have turned towards other occupations like Doctors, Chartered Accountants, Government Officers and other jobs in MNCs, while many have moved to United Kingdom and United States of America. {{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}<br />
<br />
According to other views, the community's traditional occupation was that of blacksmithy, but as with other artisan groups, they have seen a decline of their traditional occupation. They are involved in the manufacture of various iron objects such as knives and swords. Most of them have abandoned their traditional craft, the majority of the community are still engaged in work related to blacksmithy in Rajasthan. They have their own caste council, the Nagori Jamat. Like many [[Muslim]] artisan [[caste]]s in India, they are strictly endogamous, and maintain the custom of [[gotra]] exogamy. Their main clans are the Chauhan, Behlim, <br />
Rabriya and Angaas waale all which are of equal status, and intermarry. There are no reported cases of marriage with the [[Multani Lohar]], a community which also involved in blacksmithing. The community is found in the districts of [[Ahmedabad district|Ahmadabad]], Mahesana and [[Banaskantha]].<ref name=lal /><br />
