Srivastava and Shrivastava should not be merged! They are not the one and same.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.195.12.4 ( talk • contribs) 03:46, 5 July 2006
I think this is a misinformation. According to Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan's autobiography 'Kya bhuloon-kya yaad karoon', their family name was Rai and not Srivastava.Being a poet, he took bachchan as his pen name and later on his wife and children also took this pen name as their surname. (By-Dr. Akhoury Ajoy Shanker,U.K.)
This is not a misinformation. In one of his interviews, Amitabh Bachchan has told the media that his name was infact Srivastava before his father, Mr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan, changed it to Bachchan, as that is what his mother used to call him. They originate from Allahabad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajat Ghai ( talk • contribs) 23:42, 16 June 2006
I think Dr akhoury is misinformed and is f--------.Amitabh Bacchan used to write Amitabh Srivastava when he was working for jenson and Nicholsan in Calcutta. Also in his film Saat Hindustani, the credits refers him as Amitabh Shrivastava instead of Bachchan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.176.21.80 ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 1 November 2006

User:Siddharthmukund contributed the following, but I have moved it here from the article as it needs clarification and sources.
Shrivastavas are descendants of Shree Shribhanu (Srivastava), who was a son of Mata Nandini ( Dakshina). Shree Shribhanu's rashi name was Dharamdwaj. Maharaj Chitraguptji sent Shree Shribhanu to establish a Kingdom in the Shrivaas ( Srinagar) region in Kashmir and Kandhar. He was married to Nagaraj Vaasuki’s daughter Devi Padmini and two divine sons named Shree Devdatta and Shree Ghanshyam were born. Shree Devdatta got the rulership over Kashmir and Shree Ganshyam got the rulership over the banks of Sindhu river. They were called Srivastava ‘ Khare’ born from second wife Kheri. Two divine sons named Shree Dhanvantari and Shree Sarvagya were born. They were called Srivastava ‘ Doosre’. The Srivastavas are divided into 65 main Als.

Oppose. The name spellings are often used interchangeably in India, and well, spelling mistakes do occur and I don't feel there is a lot of difference in spellings of Sri, Shri, Shree, Sree. Swaroop ( talk) 17:45, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Doesn't matter From what I understand "Sri" is probably an older Anglicized form and "Shree" is more commonly used now. Nothing to be gained by moving it. -- Deepak D'Souza ( talk) 16:40, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
I WP:BOLDly moved the page Shrivastava → Srivastava despite the lack of consensus above, given repeated edits by other contributors wanting to give priority to the spelling Srivastava rather than Shrivastava.
To preserve the page history, I first moved the old page Srivastava to Srivastava/Old page. – Fayenatic L ondon 14:12, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

"Kayasthas are said to be of three sorts (kinds)— (1) the Chitragupta Kayasthas (2) Dhalbhaga Gatri Kshatriya Kayasthas and (3) Kayasthas of the mixed blood. The origin of Chitraguptavanshi Kayasthas is given in the Puranas. He was born from the body of Brahma while he was contemplating how he should know the good and evil acts of living beings. He was a brilliant person with pen and ink in his hands. He was known as Chitragupta and was placed near the God of death. He was appointed to record the good and evil acts of men. He was a Brahmin possessed of supra sensible knowledge. He was a god sharing the offerings at sacrifices. All the Brahmins offer him oblations of rice before taking their meals. He is called Kayastha because of his origin from the body of Brahma. Many descendants of his bearing different Gotras still exist on this earth. From this it will be seen that Kayastha Brahmins of Karhada and Khandesha are the Brahma-Kayasthas.

Hey קייאסטה שירומאני, as mentioned in my edit summary, one is a Raj-era source and the other two doesn't even talk about Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha. You need to provide the full quote from the two sources here, which will then be verified as per WP:V. The source (you mentioned Sitush has accepted), is not a WP:RS, please provide the revision history (difference) where Sitush has accepted the same. Do not engage in edit warring, which may lead to getting blocked! Thanks! Ekdalian ( talk) 18:07, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
