Authentic information about the family is not available. However, sketchy
evidence that exists suggests that Raja Todarmal, one of the
“Navratnas” in Akbar’s court was one of the early ancestors. During
the 18th century, the family lived in a small town, Bagha, I
the Muzzafarnagar district of western Uttar Pradesh in India. They
belonged to the caste ‘Agrawal’, a sub-caste of ‘Vaishya’. The
recorded history of the last 125years, characterize this family by
traditions of high intellectual ability, education and high social status.
The caste name often used as a surname in Hindu communities however was
generally not suffixed by the recent descendents to the name.
The surname has varied over the generation to generation. Only in
last few generations ‘Sagar’ has been retained as the second part of
the name and now used as the surname.
‘Sagar’ was the
second name of Late Shri Buddhi Sagar and this has been adopted by his
subsequent male descendents. He is therefore, taken to be the roots of
this family tree. Buddhi Sagar was the fourth son of Shri Kewal Krishna,
who retired as a District Magistrate of Azamgarh in British India and died
in the first decade of the 20th century.
