(historical, India) A leader or representative of a group of traders.
An Indian term for a moneylender or banker — someone who provides credit, loans, and financial services, especially in rural or pre-modern contexts. Historically, sahukars played a central role in Indian village economies, but the term often carries negative connotations of predatory lending and debt traps. In contemporary use it can refer neutrally to informal financiers or critically to loan sharks who exploit borrowers with high interest rates.
(British, dated) Travelling salesman.
(Britain, archaic) A person who sells or trades in trinkets or items of low value.
