An Anglo-Indian term for a warehouse keeper or grain-store manager, used in colonial-era administrative and commercial contexts. Derived from Persian/Urdu 'gola' (grain store) and the suffix '-dar' indicating a holder or keeper of something. Now largely of historical interest, though the underlying vocabulary remains in South Asian administrative usage in some regions.
The goladar was responsible for every sack of rice that entered or left the company's depot.
