The female variant of the title is Thakurani or Thakurain, and is also used to describe the wife of a Thakur. There are varying opinions among scholars about its origin. Some scholars suggest that it is not mentioned in the Sanskrit texts preceding 500 BCE, but speculates that it might have been a part of the vocabulary of the dialects spoken in northern India before the Gupta Empire.

Academics have suggested that it was only a title, and in itself, did not gr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
