Minister
a senior official who served the king and carried out royal orders. In Indian kingdoms, the minister — or mantri — was trusted with the most important tasks and answered directly to the ruler.
If your child asks about Minister, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Minister in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
