Jaiswal or Baiswal

Now this is silly and shows a side of Jaiswal community that it cannot be too proud of. I hear that in the twin cities, there are two flavours of Jaiswal, one being the regular Jaiswal and the other being Baiswal.

Both Jaiswal and Baiswal feel that they are the authentic Jaiswals. I am not sure how one goes about identifying a Jaiswal or Baiswal but I hear that Baiswal commonly have the name Jaiswal in their name and Jaiswals do not!!

Also Jaiswals have a tendency to look down upon Baiswals because the Baiswal drink liquor.

How blasphemous! How could the lowly Baiswals drink even though distilling and selling liquor is the community profession!!!
