Is maity surname schedule caste

Answer 1

Well, I am myself Maity - have never seen any Maity as scheduled caste. I went to Kolkata - Village to check the same and found we belong to Open caste (especially called as Mahishya caste) and most of us belong to sandilya gotra.

So to conclude - Maity is not a schedule caste and neither OBC (Other Backward class)

Answer 2

It is not accurate to determine someone's caste based solely on their surname. Caste is a complex social structure in India, and surnames alone may not always indicate caste identity. It is important to avoid making assumptions about someone's caste based on their surname.

Answer 3

The classification of surnames as Scheduled Caste in India is based on historical and social factors, rather than the surname itself. The Scheduled Castes are officially recognized as historically disadvantaged communities, and individuals belonging to these communities may have surnames associated with them. However, the classification of a specific surname as Scheduled Caste would require knowledge of the specific region, community, and historical context in which it is used. It is important to consult official government records or community resources for accurate information on the classification of surnames in the Scheduled Caste category.
