About Jabala and Valmiki see the thread on Sikhs. Kayasthas are according to my information Vaishyas and not Shudras. Kayasthas are scribes/writers and named as Munshi, especially some of the Dusra section of the Shrivastavas were famous. (think of Munshi Premchand, the father of modern Hindi novels). But of course character, occupation and behaviour are not the same and should be treated as separate.
