Yes, 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.
