Chaudhary Knowpia

Chaudhary (or Choudhary; also: Chaudhuri, Choudhuary, Chowdhury) is a common surname in the Indian subcontinent and Pakistan, originally derived from an Indian hereditary title. "Chaudhary" is a term adapted from the Sanskrit word caturdhara, literally "holder of four" (four denoting a measure of land). 'Chaudhary' was first bestowed by the various rulers of the Delhi Sultanate, and the custom was continued by the breakaway Bengal Sultanate. Later, the Mughals and the Nawabs conferred the same title in great numbers. Chaudharies were "local magnates" responsible for land taxes alongside an amil (revenue collector) and a karkun (accountant) in the local-level administrative units known as parganas .^[1]^[2]^[3]
