Agrawal Samaj is a culturally rich, socially progressive, and economically influential community that traces its heritage to Maharaja Agrasen, the revered king of Agroha.
Maharaja Agrasen is remembered for promoting the values of equality, non-violence, compassion, mutual support, and cooperative living. His vision of a society based on fairness
and shared growth laid the foundation for what today is known as the Agrawal Samaj.
The community is traditionally associated with trade, commerce, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy, and its contribution to India’s economic and social development has been
significant. Agrawal Samaj follows the well-known 18 Gotra tradition, which symbolizes unity, shared ancestry, and cultural identity. These values have continued to guide
generations, shaping a community that is committed to integrity, cooperation, and ethical living.
Agrawal Samaj has also played a major role in India’s freedom struggle. Historical records highlight that nearly 29% of the freedom fighters who contributed to India’s independence
movement belonged to the Agrawal–Vaishya community. As a result of their dedication to national service, the community received strong representation in India's parliamentary
system during the early years of independence. From 1952 to 1967, around 82 members from Agrawal Samaj served in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, holding positions of respect and
leadership.
