Without that stuff, figuring out if people moved voluntarily or were forced to move is impossible.
Description:
Shivadás: This surname likely links to the god Shiva. The "-das" part is common in South Asian cultures, often associated with Vaishnavism. But the "Shiva" at the start suggests a connection to people who worship Shiva.
Shivadās has some cool variations! You could see it as Shivadass, a simpler spelling. Or, Shiva Das, splitting it into two parts. Theres even a shorter version, Shivdas. Which one someone uses depends on where theyre from and their familys traditions.
