No. In fact, we are very proud of being Mahishyas as in Mahishya Samaj- a movement led by Birendra Shashmal. Proud in this context means being regarded for exactly what we are and not being put into any other higher or lower caste. I think, you will not come down asking if Mahishyas are OBC- please check who can fortunately make to the list of OBCs.

It varies.....they may belongs to from OBC to higher caste like Kayastha(Second to Brahmin).It will be better to determine from person to person perspective.
There is no information available to suggest that the surname "Santra" is specifically associated with a particular caste or community categorized as OBC. Surnames do not determine caste or community status, and individual classification is based on government records and self-identification.
