Mouzadar is a term referring to a person who takes tax of a mouza (revenue collection unit) during and after the British Raj in the modern-day Bangladesh and India. This term should not be confused with the gaonburha, used in addition in Assam.
Etymology and history[]
The name literally translates to mouza holder, from the Persian suffix ‘‘-dar’’ (دار/দার) ‘possessor’. The title was common mostly in Bengal and Assam.
