Kayastha
A roomie of mine told me history of Kayasthas. Everybody must be knowing about ChitraGupta, Yama's accountant. ChitraGupta had 11 kids and they are called Kayasthas. The 11 kids are Bhatnagar, Srivastava, Nigam, Goud, ...etc. Popular Kayastha figures include Swami Vivekananda. In the film industry, you have Amitabh Bhachan, Sonu Nigam. All these surnames like Sen,Bose,Mitra belong to Kayasthas.
