Saxena is an kayastha surname primarily found in northern and Central India including punjab & pakistan. During partition in 1947, some remained in Pakistan (British India)and converted to Islam or Christianity. Some traveled to India. It is a common surname found amongst the Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha (also known as North-Indian Kayastha) community of upper caste Hindus[1][2][3][4] particularly in the Hindi- punjabi speaking regions of India & (british india)pakistan currently. Saxena, in origin, is derived from the Sanskrit word sakhisena meaning “friend of the army”.[5] The history of saxena in Punjab dates back to Hindu Shahi dynasty of Saxena subcaste whose territory spanned from Bhatinda to Kabul. These rulers were able to proactively resist Turk and Afghan invaders for 300 years. King Jaypala was prominent of all. Around 976-996 CE, Md Ghazni succeeded in making inroads and by 1173 CE, the rule of Hindu Shahi (Saxena) dynasty came to an end. There is a famous story of Jaypala's army getting caught in hills in an inclement weather. Mass migration of Kayasthas followed from west Punjab to east Punjab around this time, who gradually got submerged into several rising sects and denominations over a period of time such as Sikhism, Arya Samaj, Radha Ballabh Samaj among others, thereby losing their community identity substantially. No wonder, to trace the identity of native Kayasthas in Punjab has been a tedious exercise today. Native Kayasth community in undivided Punjab were found in Ambala, Jind, Jullundhar, and Patiala and other administrative and commercial centres of the state. You find few not so ancient temples in Ambala, Patiala and Chandigarh. As a pattern, in hills the community was an accountant class, and in plains were writers, professionals such as doctors, chartered accountants, engineers, teachers, defence officials. Few families are in business. In Punjab, there few local level political activists too. Kayasthas in Punjab speak Punjabi, Hindi, and Pahari languages with its kin group. In conversation with others they often use Urdu and English as well. Written communication is in Gurumukhi, Devanagri, Perso-Arabic and Roman scripts. The life cycle-rituals of Kayasthas - birth, marriage, and death - are similar to the ones practiced in Himachal Pradesh. Saxenaaryan (talk) 04:59, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
