Thakur

"Thakur" is a title used in South Asia, particularly in India, historically associated with landowning, aristocratic, or noble classes. It signifies respect and social status, often given to rulers, chieftains, or influential families. In some regions, it may also denote a person belonging to a particular caste or community with a tradition of leadership or landownership. While its origins are rooted in history and social hierarchy, today, the term is also used as a respectful surname or title, reflecting cultural heritage without necessarily implying nobility.
