The act, process, or practice of requiring forced labor or the requisitioning of goods and services under an angaria system.
From 'angaria' + '-tion' (a suffix forming nouns of action or process). This noun form emphasizes the action and practice of the system itself rather than individual instances.
Angariation was particularly common in Ottoman Turkey, where the system was called 'ulak' for horse-relay services—entire villages would have to provide fresh horses for official couriers.
