Rao Bahadur

"Rao Bahadur" was an honorary title awarded during British rule in India to individuals who demonstrated exceptional service or achievement in public life, administration, or community welfare. It recognized their contributions, often in areas like law, education, or public service, and was a mark of respect and distinction. The title was used before the recipient's name, such as "Rao Bahadur Singh." Though no longer awarded, it remains a historical symbol of recognition for notable service during the colonial period.
