Dasgupta (pronounced [ˈdaʃɡupto]) (Bengali: দাশগুপ্ত) is a common Bengali surname that is used by the Bengali Hindus of West Bengal, Assam, Tripura and Bangladesh. The surname is found among the members of the Baidya caste of Bengal.
Baidya or Vaidya is a Hindu community of Bengal. A caste/jāti of Ayurvedic physicians, Baidyas have long occupied a place of pre-eminence in society alongside Brahmins and Kayasthas. In the colonial era, the Bhadraloks of Bengal were drawn from these top three castes, who continue to maintain a collective hegemony in West Bengal.
