Kotwal

Okay, kiddo, a kotwal is a really old word that comes from an old language called Sanskrit. It means a person who is really important in a town or city. They are like the boss of the police and they work to make sure everyone follows the rules and stays safe.

Picture a playground with lots of kids playing. The kotwal would be like the teacher who makes sure everyone is playing nicely, not hurting others and not breaking any rules. They would also be the person to talk to if somebody did something wrong and needs to be punished.

So, a kotwal is like a very important person who keeps a town or city safe and makes sure that everyone is following the rules. Just like a teacher on a playground!
