A military paymaster or financial officer in historical Indian or Ottoman administrations.
From Turkish 'bükshi' or Persian 'bukhshi,' from Sanskrit 'bhakta' meaning share or portion, referring to one who distributes military pay.
Medieval armies needed people to manage pay systems before computers existed, and 'bukshi' shows how the title traveled from India through Persian to Turkish empires—it's like an ancient human resources officer.
