Kayasthas in India may be broadly categorized by three loosely connected regional communities sharing a common source and lay claim to a pan-Indian community affiliation: Chandragupt vanshi Kayasthas in the Hindi heartland and in southern states, Chandraseniya Kayasthas in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and some parts of undivided Madhya Pradesh, and Chitraseniya Kayasthas in eastern India, comprising Bengal, Assam, Tripura, and Odisha. Culturally, these three communities have always been distinct in terms of their grand narratives, language, and culture, yet they all share a common identity of belonging to a writers’ class and common historical relations to one another.
