Bengali Kayastha
→Origin myths: Added a new section of notable people along with a few names accompanied by sources. Other editors are encouraged to add names only if the sources accompany the same. The argument of common surnames is not a valid exception. It may not be used as an excuse to add names unless the same is supported with sources.Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

Kayastha
→Notable people: Replaced the existing source with two books. The existing source was a citation from a recently printed news article. Though satisfactory in nature, it has been updated with two books specifically dealing with the Presidents of India and Sri Rajendra Prasad. Also added description for Sri Ravishankar Prasad, Honourable Union Minister, GoI.Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha
→Modern origin and social status: The sentence was misleading as it indicated that some group of 626 Pandits gave one decision at the same time in one go. In reality several councils comprising of several Pandits of several regions passed several such decisions over a period of time. Also added source for the unsourced assertion.Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha
→Modern origin and social status: The cited source 'Scribal elites in Sultanate and Mughal Bengal' specifically talks about Bengal as the name reflects. It is misleading and completely false for pan-India Kayastha caste and contrary to what several high grade sources suggest. Also the sentence made no sense for the pan-India Kayastha caste as it finds mention in several religious and historical books dated several centuries back. Hence removed.Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

Talk:Bengali Kayastha
The article currently is regressive and needs major improvement. There has been so much achievements by their philosophers, poets, historians, archaeologists, preachers and freedom-fighters, scientists but one is disappointed upon reading this is article to find little to no mention.Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

Bengali Kayastha
The quote has been added with the source. Also this article needs much improvement with addition of material such as their historical mentions in different edicts, secular and administrative texts and a section for Prominet Bengali Kayasthas. Currently it looks like a regressive article dealing only with divisive material. There has been so much achievements by their philosophers, poets, historians, archaeologists, preachers and scientists but one is disappointed upon reading this is article...Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

Better well researched and sourced information added to the introduction. The same may be checked for satisfaction. In case of any issues, disscusion may be added to the talk apge before modifying this. Several North Indian kingdoms have mentions of this Srivastava sub-group with titles such as Thakurs and Pandits with high offices and also commissioning temples.Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

Corrected an ambiguous description. When the twelve sub-clans are mentioned it is of relevance to know that they are sub-division of Chitraguptvanshi Kayasthas and not of Kayasthas as a whole. The Kayastha comprises of 3 regional groups, of which Chitraguptvanshi is only one; CKP and Bengali Kayasthas being the other two.Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

Kayastha
→Late medieval India: Lala as a title was used by several tutors and statesmans, who were connected to the persian language all over the medieval empires, hence the relevance here. The title is still used to refer to some Kayastha communities in the Hindibelt of India. Though there are similar sounding words in Pashtun meaning brother and in Punjabi meaning affluent.Tags: Mobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit
