HISTORY OF AGRISAMAJ

The name Agri comes from Agar, a Salt-pan or bounded farm. The original name seems to be Agle.

The tradition common among them is that they originally dwelt at Mungi Paithan and were transported to the Konkan by Bimbaraja, and it is alleged that there are in existence sanads given by him to certain persons of the caste. The following legend is given for what it is worth.

ORIGIN OF AGRISAMAJ

Two son's Agla and Mangla, were born to the sage Agasti; the former the ancestor of the Agris, the latter of the Mangelas (Fishermen). The first was told to support himself by the manufacture of salt from the sea, the latter by fishing. The god Parashuram, intending to throw back the sea, was prevented by the intervention of the Agri and Mangela women. At their request he consented to throw it back only 27 miles and the strip thus formed become the Konkan.

Answer 8

I do not think that Agriculture means only crops and their use as well as fertilisers and its use.  It also covers some related activities like dairy business, sericulture, poultry farm etc etc. These activities or business are fully dependent on the agriculture.  Agriculture in India is still dependent on bullocks for ploughing, transport. the cow dung is used for manuring.
