Ganga Ram Agarwal was an Agarwal

It is well known that he was an Agarwal (also spelled Agrawal) a well known merchant community.

He was definitly not a Khatri. Both communities are merchants but are completely distinct. However there has been some intermarriage between the two, often an Agrawal husband and Khatri wife, for example the parents of Lala Lajpat Rai. That can cause some confusion.

Agrawals are from Agroha region in Haryana. Khatris on the other hand are from the Pothohar region, now in Pakistan.
