Rao Bahadur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rao Bahadur (also Raobahadur and Raobahaddur; abbreviated R.B.) is a title of honor issued in India to individuals who have performed a deed of great service to the nation.

Literally translated, "Rao" implies "prince", and "Bahadur" means "most honorable". It is the equivalent of an OBE. This title was issued to Hindu subjects.

During the era of British India, the Rao Bahadur was accompanied by a medal.
