Thakurs


Thakur is a feudal title and a surname used by upper class communities in India and Nepal. "Thakur" title was used by the Royal families of India, but 24 years after the Independence of India, the concept of Kingdoms and Monarchy were abolished by the Democratic Government, under the 26th Constitutional amendment of 1971[1] that abolished privy purses.

The word Thakur means lord, god or master,[2][3] The title was used by rulers of several princely states including Ambliara, Vala, Morbi and Varsoda. Sons of Thakurs, were given the title of Kunwar, denoting the prince.

In the zamindari system Thakurs were landlords who used to collect revenue in their jagir (feudatory estate).[4]
