What caste the surname sallan comes under?
sikh rajput...This unusual name has a number of possible origins, the first and most likely being from an early Medieval English occupational name for a tradesman or a merchant, a dealer. The derivation is from the Old English pre 7th Century verb "sellan", to give, hand over, a seller, dealer, in Middle English "Sell(en)". Secondly, the modern surname, which can be found as Sal(l)an, Sellan, Salling and the plural forms "Sallans", "Sallens" and "Sallings", may be locational in origin, deriving from the place in Essex called "Saling". The placename is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Salinges", and means the dwellers at the willows or "Willow copse", derived from the Old English pre 7th Century "Salh", sallow, willow, with the Old English suffix "-ing"(as)" denoting "people of". The plural forms of the modern surname are either patronymics, meaning "son of Sallan", or the sensitive case of the locational name, "of Saling". Richard Sallans was christened in Kemerton, Gloucestershire, in April 1st, 1619. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robarte Sallens (marriage to Joane Butte), which was dated September 16th 1577, at Hungerford, Berkshire, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, known as "Good Queen Bess", 1558 - 1603. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Naidu Naidu (also spelt Nayudu or Naidoo) is a title used by various social groups of the Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu states of India. It is also used in Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Orissa and Chattisgarh. It is a Telugu derivation of the Sanskrit Nayaka, meaning "protector" or "leader". The word Naidu is etymologically related to the Tamil Naicker, the Nair of Kerala, Marathi Naik and Nayaks (Pattanayak) in Orissa.And it is considered one of the upper caste in south india which they claim kshatriya according to the varna system The term Naidu is the caste name and the title of the Kapu caste(Telaga/Balija Naidu)of Andhra Pradesh which accounts for about 28% of the population of Andhra Pradesh. Nayaka (Naidu) was an honorary title that was used by the people belonging to the other Telugu castes of Ekari (Pala Ekari) Boyar(warrior), Kamma, Mudi Raju, Koppula/Polinati Velama,Ayyaraka,gangavar(Boyar) etc in Andhra Pradesh and other states. It was used as a title denoting a village or lineage headman. Medieval Andhra dynasties like the Vishnukundins and Chalukyas and the recent ones like the Vijayanagara Empire conferred the title Nayaka / Nayakudu to a commander or Danda-nayaka (Army Commander) or a leader of a band of soldiers. The Nayaka title was originally conferred upon Telugu communities. In medieval times, the Kakatiya and Vijayanagara Kingdoms had many prominent nayakas from various castes. During the expansion of Vijayanagar Empire, the Nayak title was conferred upon non-Telugu speaking communities who served in the same function in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. This title is also used by other communities in Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The Nayaka title was conferred upon warriors who received land along with the title Nayaka as a part of the Nayankarapuvaram system for services rendered to the court during the Kakatiya dynasty. Nayaka was one among approximately 25 titles used by the Kakatiyas to create a new political infrastructure to undercut the authority of heredity regional elites.[1] The Nayankara system was also used by the Vijayanagar empire [2] wherein land was granted to a Nayaka or Palayakarrar (Polygar) on condition that they would place their military service at the disposal of the king.[3] Many communities later began using the Naick or Naidu surname. Edgar Thurston (Castes and Tribes of Southern India Vol. 5; p. 138) noted that "Naidu" or "Nayudu" title was in use by several Telugu castes in colonial India (in alphabetical order): Balija, Bestha, Boyar(warrior) caste, Ekari, gangawar(Boyar), Gavara,Kalingi, Kamma, Kapu, Mudirajus, Velama, Odde, Tottiyan, Reddy, Telaga, Uppiliyan, Idiga and Valmiki.

But there is a mistake for the info you provide. The Maurya, Saini, Kachchhis, Malis are not belong to the Kshatriya or the Kushwaha community . These people are not kshatriyas . They are the low castes of the ancient India. By populising this belief that these communities belong with us you are degrading our community because people will start to give their daughters in these communities and thus the degradation of our community . Have you ever seen the true Rajputs to give their daughter in the Maurya or other castes ?

How did the Hindu caste system affect village and family life in gupta India?
It divided people in higher to lower ranks and in the lower rank also known as the untouchables no one was allowed to communicate with the upper class people and were outcast and lived harsh lives. They were considered impure. Family life was affected by the caste system because upper class women have to cover themselves from head to toe and were largely restricted to their homes. The lower class women worked in the fields or did spinning and weaving. Finally, hindu's were to get married to people from the same caste.
