Kayastha
Kayastha (also referred to as Kayasth or Kayeth) is a group consisting of a cluster of several different castes (or sub-groups) of different origin from the Indian subcontinent. Kayasthas have traditionally acted as scribes, keepers of public records and accounts, and administrators of the state. Since as early as the dawn of Medieval India, Kayasthas have occupied the highest government offices, serving as ministers and advisors of the middle kingdoms of India and the Mughal Empire, and holding important administrative positions during the British Raj. In modern times, Kayasthas have attained success in politics, as well as in the arts and various professional fields.
