Can a Gupta marry an aggarwal?

Answer 1

2/3 of guptas are agarwals.agarwals have many surnames.goyal,mittal,chandra,garg,bansal are the famous ones named on agarwal gotras.other famous ones are singhal,soinghania,dalmia,khaitan,bajaj etc. Birlas,oswal,khandelwal,maheshwaris are also related and marry each other,though not always.agarwal is a generic name which many use.as I told before two third of guptas are agarwals and use gupta as a generic surname and so marry regularly.even the one third of non agarwal guptas are related and marry but less regularly.even many jains are agarwal.like indu jain of times of India. Some agarwals use variations of agarwal like sabharwal etc. Some other names are modi,rai,chaudhry.but these three names are also used by other communities. For examle aishwariya rai is a tulu but lala lajpat rai was agarwal. Lalit modi is agarwal but narendra modi is not. Some agarwals have also used kumar in bihar and bengal. By the way sen-gupta and das-gupta are bengalis and not agarwal.
