It is interesting to note that Kayasthas had their own script called Kaithi which was fairly widespread in its uses in North West India and Bihar where it was used in writing legal documents & administrative records during the 16-19^th centuries. As a matter of fact its use was generally discouraged under British rule in India, except in the state of Bihar, where it was officially sanctioned for use in government offices.

While the origin or the evolution of the Kayastha may be queried, there is no doubt  about the fact that from the earliest times  this accomplished community has distinguished in the field of education, art  and culture. It is these recognizable aspects of this community that  make it outstanding.
