Sujata

Sujata

Sujata is a Sanskrit word meaning "from a good family origin". 'Su' means 'good' and 'jata' implies 'jati' or 'caste'. Thus the implied and correct meaning of the word Sujata means 'of good caste' or 'the well born'. It has to be noted here that the caste-system is the spine of Hinduism. And therefore, 'jata' has specific reference to 'jati' meaning 'caste.' It is a common name for an Indian female, and may refer to:

* Sujata Bhatt, an Indian poet
* Sujata Madhok, an Indian activist
* Sujata Manohar, an Indian judge
* Sujata Massey, an English mystery writer
* Sujata Nahar, an Indian biographer and historical figure
* Sujata, a maiden who, in Gautama Buddha's life, offered the Buddha a bowl of milk porridge after he had given up the path of asceticism following six years of extreme austerities.

Sujata may also refer to
* "Sujata", a 1959 film by Bimal Roy.
* "Sujata" (TV series), a serial appearing on the Indian Sony TV satellite television network.
