Conclusion

Hinduism was an inclusive religion where people from all castes, creeds and communities have been more or less treated equally. This was true even in matters of baby names. In ancient times the people from different castes and communities used to be considered as the same class—Brahmana and Kshatriya. All Hindus have been treated as such and therefore names such as ‘Kanha’, ‘Nakra’ and ‘Shatabala’ are similar to each other.
