How common are surnames in India?

Surname is one of the prominent features of Indian society, which is divided into various castes and sub-castes. Only the surnames of Brahmins and Rajaputa are determined, so they are identified by surnames. In other castes, surnames are uncertain because they choose suitable surnames according to social environment and job opportunities. For example, in some castes, the father's surname is Prasad, but the son chooses Sinha. Therefore, among other castes, except Brahman and Rajaputa, you can't decide a person's caste according to his cognition. Since the 5th century AD, very famous surnames such as Mithila, Jha, Mishra, Thakur, Pathak, Choudhury and Pratihast have existed. Before these surnames, Upadhyay was the surname of Brahmins, who once taught the Vedas to students. The same Upadye, due to language phenomenon, has become Jha (upadhyaya >: upadjha >; Ojjha & gtOjha & gtJha). It is understood that Misrado of Misra is a learned scholar of the philosophy of Saint-Germinimiza. Most of Thakur people in Tierhuta are landlords, while Pataca people are great Vedas.

Nagari Pracharini Sabha, varanasi, Jha, published according to Hindi Shabdasagara, are common surnames used only by Maithil and Brahmins in Gujarat. Mishra is a very popular common surname of Maithil, Kanyakubja and Uriya Brahmans, who have permanently settled in Mitilla, Uttar Pradesh and Orissa respectively. Indian philosophers are very familiar with the famous names of Mimansakas, such as Mandan Mishra, Prabhakar Mishra, Pasalati Mishra, Mulari Mishra, Pax Hadela Mishra, Jayadwa Mishra and Chitradara Mishra. Their intellectual contribution has proved to be a milestone in the field of philosophy. Thakur is the third common surname of Maithil and Brahmin in Bangladesh. Vidyapati Thakur, a famous poet in the Middle Ages, and Robin Delanat Thakur, a Nobel Prize in Literature winner (changed to Tagore because of the distorted English pronunciation) are the best examples of two great Thakur, and they have always been called the lighthouse of later poets. The Central Aviation Department, India * * * and Bangguo * * * paid tribute to Vidyapati Thakur in a joint communique, naming the nearest Darbhanga airport as "Kavikokil Vidyapati Thakur International Airport". Singh was originally the surname of Rajaputas, but since the beginning of the 20th century, it has become very common among Bumichal people, Lady Yada, Kulmis people and others. Sinha is the English form of Singh's surname. If you can't pronounce Singh correctly in English, pronounce it as Sinha. At present, Sinha has become the surname of Rajaputas, Kayasthas, Bhumihars, Yadavas, Kurmis and other castes. In Bihar, the surnames of most Brahmins are adopted by Bumihar people in order to assimilate with Brahmins. In Uttar Pradesh, most of Kanyakubja Brahmans' homophones have also been absorbed by Bhumihars s. In fact, in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, you can't tell whether he is a Brahman or a Pumihar by his surname. Since 1947 gained independence, all Indians have known that caste plays a key role in politics. Everyone is sailing in the same boat: from Shri Krishna Singh to Nitish Kumar. Das is a common surname, which is common in Kayasthas, Noniyas, Tatamas and some scheduled castes. Intermarriage, that is, marriage outside their Varna, has become the main reason for the birth of a large number of castes in India. According to Dharmashastra, marriage should be kept in their Varna.
