Definition
A government office or court building in India; an administrative center during the British colonial period.
Etymology
From Hindi 'kacheri' (office, courthouse, or administrative center), borrowed into English during British rule in India.
Kelly Says
The 'cutcherry' was the face of colonial power in India—it's where taxes were collected, disputes settled, and British authority enforced through local administrators.
