Bharat Kaul is an Indian actor mainly known for villainous and antagonistic roles in Bengali film and television serials. Apart from Bengali films he has also appeared in Hindi films.
Bharat, Bharath, Bharata, Bharatam, Bhārat, or Bhārata may be a transliteration of either Bharata (Sanskrit: भरत, lit. "to be maintained") or Bhārata (Sanskrit: भारत, lit. "descended from Bharata") and may refer to:
The Bharat are a clan of Rajputs, found in Pind Dadan Khan (tehsil) of Jhelum District of Punjab, Pakistan. Bharatha also Bharatakula are a Sri Lankan caste of Paravar immigrants from Tamil Nadu in India.
Although now a small clan, the tribe claims descent from the Bhāratas, an ancient Hindu tribe mentioned in the Hindu epic, the Rigveda. If this claim is true, it would make this small clan of Muslim Rajputs the last remnant of this ancient race. The Bharat claim to be a Suryavansha clan, and are said to have converted to Islam in the 16th Century, at the hands of Jalap a famous Pir (Muslim holyman), who is buried in Ramdiani in the Sargodha District. They now occupy a number of villages along the bank of the Jhelum River in the Pind Dadan Khan tehsil.
Bharata's are to be found all over Sri Lanka. Amongst Sri Lankan Tamils Bharata's are still a trading community. The Bharatas or Bharatakula identity is maintained by a relatively prosperous merchant group from India that settled amongst the Sinhalese in the Negombo area.
Barat, also Bharat or Bhart, is a village in Bannu District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Kaul, Koul, Caul or Kol (Kashmiri: कौल (Devanagari), کول <smalltkaul>(Nastaleeq)) is a surname used by the Kashmiri Pandit community. The term also refers to the Kaul clan from which several other krams (surnames) of Kashmir have originated.
The word Kaul, meaning well born, is derived from Kula, the Sanskrit term for family or clan. Its use as a surname or appellation is a derivative of the ancient name Kaula which means well born and is related to Saivite beliefs.
There are several theories regarding the origins of Kaul as a surname.
One says that it is associated with the word Mahakaul, an epithet for Shiva. Shiva followers were thus called Kaula. Kaul therefore means a devotee of Shiva.
Another states that since the Saraswat Brahmins of Kas'mira were believers in Saivism and Shakta, the peak of Saivism in Kashmir around the 9th century ~ 12th century gave rise to use of the name. This has led many scholars to believe that almost all Kashmiri Pandits were Kauls and they were later subdivided into different nicknames, & with the passage of time these nicknames became surnames. In recent years the use of the nicknames is being progressively discarded and surname Kaul is being adopted by almost all such people. The word Kaul is associated with being an aghoreshwara or enlightened. The practitioners (sadhaks) of the Tantra, associated with Shakti worship, are believed to reach the top of the spiritual ladder, and thus become a Kaul.
