Chaudhuri

Chaudhuri
   In the Delhi sultanate during 14th century, muqad-dams and chaudhuris represented a new superior emerging rural class. They replaced the old rural aristocracy of ranas and rautas. In the new hierarchy, chaudhuris stood at the top, defined by Ibn Bat-tuta as "the chief of infidels" in each sadi, a unit of hundred villages that corresponded to the pargana.
