Varshney

Varshney (or Barahseni) is a version of a name first used by Arjuna to address Krishna in the Mahābhārata (Chapter 1, Shloka 41, Swami Sivananda translation). There is some debate over whether Varshneys belong to the Vaishya (merchants and artisans) or Kshatriya (warriors, rulers and politicians) caste.Fact|article|date=August 2007
