Surname Thakur belongs to which caste?

Answer 1

thakur use to be main head of the family or head of the area where one is living. if we look down the history , mainly kshatriya rulers or zamindars .. loacal head chief use to end their last name with thakur.

in some parts of the country brahmin also used thakurs with their sirnames like in north ....benaras, West Bengal.

singh and thakur prominently were used by high class varna kshatriya with their surnames.

but now even jats, schedule caste or tribe , local pan shops, barbor use thakur or singh with their names.

if you want to watch out for real thakur go for their gotras or varnas.
