A person who carries a whip or acts as a messenger or official attendant, particularly in South Asian historical contexts.
From Persian چاکدار (chakdar), combining چاک (chak) meaning official post and دار (dar) meaning holder or bearer, referring to someone holding an official position.
The chakdar's whip was literally a symbol of authority in medieval courts—carrying one meant you represented the king's power and had the right to command obedience.
