[edit] Merger of variant spellings
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
- Shrivastava or Shrivastav or Srivastav are all unconventional and undesired spelling changes to the name of the caste.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Shashwat sri (talk • contribs) 12:44, 2 August 2006
[edit] Bachchan (merged from Talk:Srivastava)
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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.176.21.80 (talk • contribs) 15:07, 1 November 2006
[edit] Origin
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.

- Similar material was added again in March by an anon, User talk:167.88.201.100. I've labelled it as unreferenced. None of the names mentioned have existing articles in Wikipedia, and as it has neither links nor sources it has little value in Wikipedia. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] People NOT named Shrivastava
Can anybody explain why anon editors have added the following people with other names? I've moved these here from the article:
- Dr Rajendra Prasad, first President of India
- Maha Devi Verma, Hindi poetess
People stated as previous name Shrivastava: [citation needed]
- Swami Shradha Nand - his previous name before accepting Sanyas
