Based upon Indo-Caribbeans, I realized:

- Obviously, with Muslims, the common surnames are Khan, Ali, Mohammed, Haniff, and Rahman.

- Sharma, Rao, Persaud, and Singh (omg, Singh!) are common upper-caste Hindu surnames.

- Ramsammy, Ramnarine, Rambarras, Ramlogan, Roopnarine, and Ramdas are middle class Hindu names. (In the West Indies, Ram____ surnames are TOO common with us!)
