Bassi

From Jatland Wiki

Bassi (बस्सी) is Gotra of Jats. These people are mentioned by Aitreya Brahmana as Vasha. ^[1] They are the same as Basae of Herodotus and Vaisi of Assyria, one of the Medians tribes. Bassis are now a Jat as well as Khatri clan. Aitereya Brahmana places them in Madhyadesa. Kausitaki Upanisad places them with Matsyas; Gopatha Brahmana Shows them with the Ushinaras (Sibiyas). ^[2]
