One aspect of caste bias in India is in the surnames, particularly in north and east India, to lesser extent in west and south India. Although the surnames presecribed by Shastras for 4 varnas are - Sharma, Varma, Gupta and Das - but dont know when and howcome these many caste-based surnames have sprung up.

Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati wanted indian people to shed their caste-showing surnames and adopt more detached surnames - like Bharati, Arya, Saraswati, Jain, Tirth etc, on place names like Mumbaikar, or on names of Rishis/gotras. Many people had done that too. To fight the caste bias, even Guru Gobind Singh ji gave a common surname to all Khalsas - Singh. What do forum members think about Surnames?
