An Indian and South Asian term with two distinct but related senses: a pimp or procurer, and more broadly an intermediary, broker, or go-between in commercial dealings. The broker sense is the older and more formal one; the pimp sense is a derived, often pejorative extension. Used across Hindi, Urdu, and related languages.
Everyone knew the local dalaal who could connect buyers with sellers for a cut of whatever was agreed.
