RK Dass says about the surname dass Dass surname is 100% a sub caste of kashmiri pandits. They are inhabitants of Bomi, Spore. If one can see the revenue records of Dass surname, it can be found that they are orginally from pandits surname. It might have happened a nick name of dass might have got attached to some pandit surnames as usual practice in kashmir
