Darugha
Darugha (Bashkir: даруга, Tatar Cyrillic: даруга, Latin: daruğa) was a territorial subdivision in the Mongol Empire. A darugha was ruled by darughachi.
Later the term was used for the province, particularly in Kazan and the Siberian Khanates in the 15th-16th centuries; and finally in the Turkic-populated parts of the Russian Empire in 16th-18th centuries.[1]
In 1762, the Bashkir people controlled the Kazan Darugha, the Nogai Darugha, the Osin Darugha, and the Siberian Darugha.[2]
In the Mughal Empire of South Asia and Persia, darugha was the title of the district police officer. This title was kept until the 20th century during the British Raj.
