KAYASTH

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 703 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KAYASTH , the writer
caste
  of Northern India, especially numerous and influential in Bengal. In 1901 their
total
  number in all India was more than two millions. Their claim to be Kshattriyas who have taken to clerical
work
  is not admitted by the Brahmans. Under
Mahommedan
 
rule
  they learnt Persian, and filled many important offices. They are now eager students of
English
 , and have supplied not only several
judges
  to the high
court
  but also the first Hindu to be a member of the
governor
 -general's council. In Bombay their place is taken by the Prabhus, and in Assam by the Kalitas (Kolitas); in Southern India there is no distinct clerical
caste
 .
