His influential book highlighted the physical weakness of Kayasthas who he claimed were good only for inferior work as clerks . At another place he said , the use of surname Das is common with the Kayasthas and their feminane names without a single exception , terminate in Dasi . The practice of widow remarriage (dhrija or karao) and polyandry among the jats were cited as the main reasons for jats not being Kshatriyas . Kurmis were attacked for their lack of Purdah
