Dear Sir,
The Kashyap Rajput is an euphemism and it stands for Kahar, fishermen, boatmen and all the communities connected with the acquatic professions. From the times immemorial (as far back as Ram Rajya) these communities have been looked down upon by the high castes as menials or Sudras, not to speak of imparting education they were even debarred from praying and doing penances to attain higher self. In short, they still are and have all through been reckoned as lowest of the low.
