Brahmakshatriya dynasties

In Kerala

In Kerala, only the sons of a Nambuthiri father and a Kshatriya mother were recognized as Brahmakshatriya by the Nambuthiri Brahmins, while the son of a Brahmakshatriya father and a non-Kshatriya mother was regarded as non-Kshatriya. The Nambudiri Brahmins and Samantha Arasu Ballalas of Kasaragod are examples of Brahmkshatriyas by descent, while the Nambiathiri and Nambidi sect of Nambudiri Brahmins are Brahmkshatriyas by adopting a martial tradition.[6]

In Gujarat

In Gujarat, the Brahmakshatriyas as a community exists that bears cross caste identity.[7] They are generally considered as a writer caste.[8][9]
