∙ 15y agoYes, besides Ghosh, Basu, Guha, and Mitra, who are given precedence among Bengali kshatriyas, other surnames such as Pal, Datta, Dev and Ray are also kshatriyas. But due to some historical reasons involving medieval politics and society, Bengali kshatriyas came to be known as Kayasthas. But they have no relation to Kayasthas elsewhere like in UP etc who are not kshatriyas. Bengali Kayasthas are subdivided into three main groups today - Vangaja Kayasthas (who are originally from East Bengal), Uttar Rarhi Kayasthas and Dakshin Rarhi Kayasthas 9Both of whom are from West Bengal). Some other surnames (Sen, Gupta, Sengupta, Dasgupta) are known as Vaidyas who are also descended from kshatriyas.

What caste is ROY in Bengali's?
Roy or Rai or Ray is gifted title that is same as everywhere else in India. But, generally speaking, Roy lastnames are used by higher castes like Brahmins or Kayasthas in Bengal, they are being mostly from ruling communities in Bengal. But, you may also find Roy is used by people from lower caste like Namah-Sudra that belongs to so-called Scheduled Caste. In Bangladesh, you may even find Muslims bearing Roy lastnames. I have seen even converted Christian (or Anglo-Indian) using the same title. In general, you can expect a very higher percentage of people having Roy lastname belongs to Brahmin or Kayastha community, then probably few from SC, lastly Muslim or Christians using this title will be very rare occurance.
