b) It's a good thing that Baijal is "not a very common surname" - just imagine how long the list would be otherwise!

3. The name probably came from the village of Baijal, mentioned in the Indian news recently, as a result of a public protest which blocked the main road between Kasinagar and Paralakhemundi.

Answer 2

I too am a Baijal. In our family the story has been passed down that there was once a tribe in rural India called "Baijal" and all the Baijals currently in the world originate from this tribe! It's certainly a very rare surname! Who knows, we're probably distant cousins or something!

Answer 3

Anil Baijal - India's Union Home Secretary from February 2004

Answer 4

Baijals are the people who were leftover in pakistan, And at the time of seprations they were the last to return back to India. According to Indian history many of the Baijal s were brutally murdered and raped by pakistani army s horses. That s why there are few of them. History says that they also loved to suck on horse s dick True story.
