In medieval Indian administration: - Shiqdar: Generally an officer in charge of revenue collection and law and order in a Shiq (a larger administrative division) or a Pargana. - Muqaddam: The village headman, responsible for local administration and tax collection. - Patwari: Village accountant responsible for maintaining land revenue records. - Khasdar: Keeper of the Sultan's personal armoury or arsenal.The statement for Shiqdar is partially correct but not as precise as the other definitions. The term 'Muqaddam' being a 'Clerk in the Revenue Department' is factually incorrect; he was the village headman.
