Telugu Word - క్హాట్వాల్

A ferryman; a member of a class of landholders in Birbhum (a region in West Bengal), holding lands under a peculiar tenure, either rent-free or at a low fixed rate of assessment. While primarily associated with a specific region outside Telangana, 'Ghatwal' could appear in historical documents if there were any land-related interactions or agreements between Telangana and that region, or if similar land tenure systems existed in Telangana.
