A zilladar is an administrative title used in South Asia, particularly in historical contexts within the Mughal and later British colonial systems. It typically referred to an official responsible for the governance of a district or a subdivision, overseeing revenue collection, law enforcement, and local administration. The role often involved managing land records and ensuring the maintenance of order within their jurisdiction. The position has evolved over time, but the term is still recognized in some areas of South Asia today.
