			==Origins and history==
			The surname Sehgal is traditionally associated with the Punjabi [[Khatri]] community, a prominent mercantile and warrior class in North India, particularly in Punjab.<ref name="AroraKhatri">{{cite web \|url=https://arorakhatri.com/gotra.php?gid=8828 \|title=Punjabi Khatri Gotras \|publisher=Arora Khatri \|access-date=14 January 2025}}</ref>

			Following the [[Partition of India]] in 1947, many Hindu families bearing the surname Sehgal migrated to India, while Muslim families remained in Pakistan. This period was particularly challenging for the [[Arora]]-Khatri and Sikh communities, who faced displacement and had to rebuild their lives in new environments.<ref name="AroraPartition">{{cite web \|url=https://arorakhatri.com/gotra-hindi.php?gid=8828 \|title=Partition and the Khatri Community \|publisher=Arora Khatri \|access-date=14 January 2025}}</ref>
