FERA violation charges Ashok Jain was indicted and arrested in 1998, a year before his death, in connection with an alleged violation of the FERA ( Foreign Exchange Regulation Act).

Agrawal Jain
Agrawals are the descendent of Maharaja Agrasen who was a legendary Indian king of Agroha, a city of traders.

He is credited with the establishment of a kingdom of traders in North India named Agroha, and is known for his compassion in refusing to slaughter animals in yajnas. Agrawal Jains are an Indian Jain community who originated from Agroha near Hisar, Haryana. In Sanskrit inscriptions and texts, the community is termed Agrotakanvaya. Legends According to texts from the Mughal period preserved in Delhi temple libraries, the emergence of the Agrawals is associated with Lohacharya and the Kashtha Sangh.

The Kashtha Sangh religious order has thus been closely associated with the Agrawal community. According to some legends, ...
