Chhota haazri
Chhota haazri or Chota hazri ((ヒンディー語:छोटा हाज़िरी), from the Hindustani words for "small" and "presence", was a meal served in households and barracks, particularly in northern British India, shortly after dawn. In subsequent years, the tradition of such a meal has disappeared, but the phrase lives on in Anglo-Indian households, certain regiments of the Indian Army, and in public schools such as The Doon School and Lawrence School, Sanawar, Lawrence School, Lovedale and St. Paul's School, Darjeeling where it has come to refer to a cup of tea with a biscuit served at 6:00 a.m.〔''The Ruling Caste:Imperial Lives in the Victorian Raj'' by David Gilmour.

==Historical use of the word==
In 1912 explorer Aurel Stein wrote the following during an expedition across the mountains of Pashtunistan:
In 1947, during the political integration of the Indian princely states, the word 'Chhota Hazri' was used as a pun to refer to a small princely state in an ironic way.
'Chota Hazri' was the name of a highly successful thoroughbred horse in British Horse racing around mid twentieth century.〔(Sporthorse Data - Chota Hazri )〕
