Explanation:
Jāti (in Devanagari: जाति, Bengali: জাতি, Telugu: జాతి, Kannada: ಜಾತಿ, Malayalam: ജാതി, Tamil: சாதி, literally "birth") is a group of clans, tribes, communities, and sub-communities, and religions in India. Each Jāti typically has an association with a traditional job function or tribe. Religious beliefs (e.g. Sri Vaishnavism or Smarthism or Veer Shaivism) or linguistic groupings may define some Jātis.
A person's surname typically reflects a community (Jāti) association: thus Gandhi = perfume seller, Dhobi = washerman, Srivastava = military scribe, etc.[citation needed]
